Hi Gianluca,
OK, the log was a good idea, thank you very much!
There I found:
Started provisioning VC9BuildSlave97yt3vpya79krvglcpcgevei4 from vSphereCloud
with 1 executors. Remaining excess workload: 0

Unfortunately this exactly matches the name of the datastore as displayed
in vSphere (copy'n'pasted - replace the triple X with the actual hostname).

Sorry for the german UI. Did I get something wrong? Isn't this the proper
ID for the datastore?
The user is administrator on the whole server (I know but that's the next
step).
BR,
Christoph
