  1. You must be a Trust Authority Administrator, a part of the TrustedAdmins group and also have the "Host.Inventory.Add Host To Cluster" privilege on vCenter system.
  2. The ESXi host must be wiped from existing Trusted Infrastructure configuration. If the ESXi host has been previously configured as part of vSphere Trust Authority (part of a vCenter configured for vSphere Trust Authority, a Trust Authority Cluster or Trusted Cluster), you must use the decommission script first.
