## Errors in vcsa-converge-cli.log:
Standard:
vCSACliConvergeLogger - ERROR - Could not resolve the '[MY FQDN VC I want to CONVERGE onto]' to hostname.This issue may be observed due to temporary network problem too.

## Things I have tried in order to work-around or resolve the problem:
1. Forward and reverse resolution of above FQDN from convergence management VC, VC being converged and hypervisors work ok
2. Migrated both convergence management VC and VC being converged to different hypervisors
- no change
3. Confirmed all usual services are running on VAMI
4. Used IP address instead of FQDN for both convergence management VC and VC being converged
- "Cannot produce a normalized IP address" no longer on previous line of verbose log but other wise converge still fails with same ERROR
I'll be grateful for any productive assistance ..

I'm having the same problem. Did all kinds of problem determination but DNS is working great for all 4 of my ESXi hosts, for the vcenter appliance, the PSC appliance, my workstation, our domain controllers, etc. All of it. So I can't tell where this is coming from really, or how to fix it. Hopefully they figure this out soon.

I ran into this issue with 6.5U3. I worked with support and as crazy as it was, we were able to work around it by adding the VCenter IP and hostname to the host file on the device I was running the converge utility.
