Resolution

Resolve DNS Connectivity

  1. Verify that the vCenter Server Appliance can ping the DNS server.
  2. If ping fails, check network ACLs or firewalls that may block ICMP traffic between vCenter and DNS.
  3. Correct any DNS server address or routing issues and repeat the deployment pre‑check.
