vRealize Automation 8.0.1 installation fails on VraVaPostInstallCheck

Today when I tried to deploy vRealize Automation 8.0.1 using the Easy Installer, the deployment got stuck on the VraVaPostInstallCheck step and failed this, with the following error:

- LCMVRAVACONFIG590004

- Error Code: LCMVRAVACONFIG590004

- First boot check failed on vRA. Check if all the network details provided are valid.

- vRA VA deployment Failed at First Boot check on HostName vra.internal.masterwayz.nl

com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.common.exception.EngineException: vRA VA deployment Failed at First Boot check on HostName vra.internal.masterwayz.nl    at com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.plugin.core.vra80.task.VraVaPostInstallCheckTask.execute(VraVaPostInstallCheckTask.java:104)    at com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.automata.core.TaskThread.run(TaskThread.java:45)    at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149)    at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624)    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

This is what /var/log/boot.log shows:

Anything that I may do wrong? I'm not sure what I may be doing wrong though. vRLCM and vIDM deployed fine.

Any ideas?

I deployed it again on an ESXi 6.7u3 host instead of 7.0, and now it works fine.

I didn't know that the ESXi version could matter that much. (or I just had a broken ESXi install on that server)

Thank you, trying the solution out now. I also tried to install Automation 8.1, is this issue in there as well? That failed as well but I didn't look at any logs, wanted to try an older version first.

I tested only 8.0.1 . I don't have enough resource to check 8.1

I set the changes of the last one, since the first one gave me an error.

Now I get this when I run deploy.sh:
