This message indicates that your ESX server has a datastore with URL
set to an empty string. This is unexpected.

Goto https://<your-esx-server>/mob then goto content -> rootFolder ->
childEntity -> datastore. For each datastore element check the
info.url property, if one of them is an empty string or unset then
this is the cause for this error message.

If this is really the case for you, the question is: Is an empty URL
valid, or is this a configuration issue with you ESX server?
