Looks like you're trying deploy the vCenter 6.5 GA (from 2016-11-15) and there is an issue where the RPM installation fail due the "root" account of the appliance is expired (by default 365 days). Please, try deploy the latest vCenter 6.5 version which is vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 U1d (from 2017-12-19, build number 7312210) and let me know the result.

am not sure if thisthe correct solution for the 80% hung issue.

However, when created the the ESXi where I am going to installed Vcenter.

1. ESXi - the DNS Configuration obtain automatically and leave hostname as localhost - I will change hostname later to ESXi2

2. When installing Vcenter, I was use the same root password (eg. Dog.@12) but I change the vcenter password to Dog@12
and now the installation of RPM move on to Stage two.

  • Wrong Network settings or DNS configured incorrectly
    • Wrong DNS server during deployement, no DNS record, wrong default Gateway
  • Wrong Portgroup selected or DNS is just not accessible through the selected network
  • Wrong ISO build
    • Check the kb before Deployment
