New Install of VCSA 7.02

I'm trying to do a fresh install of VCSA and keep getting the error below when the installation reached 51%.

Error Encountered an internal error.

If you encounter this error again, please search for these symptoms in the VMware Knowledge Base for any known issues and possible resolutions. If none can be found, collect a support bundle and open a support request.

I have tried inserting my VCSA ip address as the FQDN but to no avail.

I tried DNS lookup and it is able to nslookup.

There are 3 VM that are running in the host that I am trying to install the vCenter.

The NTP and certificates are correct. Hence i am lost on what to do, please help to advice me as I am new to this.

Hi,

You are installing the VCSA 7.0 on an Esxi host, so ESXi already exists. Access the web interface of the Esxi host and install a new Virtual machine. Then then import the ISO file into the Esxi host datastore and mount the ISO on the cd-rom of the virtual machine you have installed.
Then from the virtual machine start the installation of VCSA 7.0

If you have already installed Esxi, log in as follows: https://<FQDN>or<IP>\ui

Hi,

Run this test ... copy the VCSA ISO file to the Esxi host datastore and mount the ISO image on a VM located on the host where you need to install VCSA.

let me know

If i put the ISO in a different folder(ie. a new directory in the same datastore), how do i access the ISO from the VM as currently i do not have Vsphere installed. Do i just SSH to the VMware Host Client?
