DNS Configuration error during Bring up

Hello 

We are trying to deploy VCF in our lab, but we are getting an error during the validation stage. 

ESXi host 172.16.11.101 (sfo01-m01-esx01) hostname sfo01-m01-esx01 does not match sfo01-m01-esx01.cc-demo.local

Error connectng to ESXi host 172.16.11.101

This error is repeated for each host.

I have checked DNS and it looks fine. From the CloudBuilder VM I have verified that I can use NSLookup to resolve the hostname and the FQDN of each ESXi host as well as succesfully performing a reverse lookup of the IP address. 

Thanks Sean

How did you build  these hosts?

I have seen this a few times where the dns hostname on the hosts do not much the FQDN / DNS records.  May want to check that.  Is SSH enabled on the hosts?  I imagine ping is working, test out SSH.. that may be the cause.

Records and host names are case sensitive, make sure that match as well.
