Vcenter installation failed: really need your help!!

[peteflying]

First of all, hello everybody, it is my first post..

On a homelab (nested), i would like to evaluate a vsphere installation. To be more precise, i would like to follow as close as possible the SDDC documents (version 4.3).

My Problem: I tried to install Vcenter 6.7 and each time i failed...

My setup:

- An active directory , ntp, dns server is setup to resolve "homelab.local" (172.16.11.4)

- An active directory, ntp, dns server is setup to resolve "sfo01.homelab.local (172.16.11.6)

- PTR and A record are done for all of servers (DNS,PSC,VCENTER,ESXI, and so on)

- NTP server is configured on 172.16.11.6

On sfo01m01esx01, i Install two PSC as described in the SDDC document (which is by the way very well desccribed).

I can't configure them because i need the vsphere client which is given by the vcenter.

So, i started to install the VCSA from the DNS server (172.16.11.6) to sfo01m01esx01

- stage 1 : always good

- stage 2: always failed (at diferente moment).

So i tried to install vcenter + embedded platform services controller: but same result..............

Could you please help me to manage this installation?

I read a lot of messages from this forum and try to correct (specially from DNS and NTP)

PS:

- configuration before launch the stage 1

- configuration before launch the stage 2

@- the dns resolution from 172.16.11.6

What is the error? There is no screenshot with any error

Dont waste time with external PSCs because VMware says they are deprecated for now.

Thanks for the time u have taken to read my message!

I will post the error messsages screenshot, but as I said, the error messages is different at each attempt:

- failed to start content-library or failed to start vmware-vpxd

Thanks for the information about PSC. I will deploy only embedded Psc with the vcenter.

thx
