OVF Deployment error

[W001fer]

Hello,

I'm facing a really weird and odd issue trying to deploy an OVA/OVF template via vcenter interface (HTML5). Each time I try to perform this there is an error

"Failed to deploy OVF package. ThrowableProxy.cause A general system error occurred: Transfer failed: The OVF descriptor is not available."

And there are some more weird things:

1. The issue appears only if I login to my VCenter using its FQDN, it's being deployed well using its IP address

2. If I try to deploy this template directly to the ESXi host it's working well despite of if I connect via FQDN or IP

The ESXi version is 6.7.0, 14320388, the VCenter version is 6.7.0.46000. I have all the root CA certificates imported to a local trusted root on my PC - doesn't help. And of course it is a workaround to be logged on by IP and deploy these images but I'd like to find a final solution

Thank you!

Sounds like a DNS issue or something with VC FQDN, Have you changed the dns server on vcsa and tried to redeploy?

thanks,

Murali,

Thank you for the response! Not sure if it is a DNS issue if only you do mean VC should be able to resolve its own name (or name of a subordinate ESXi host) via DNS. In this case I'd need to point them both on the DNS server handling the zone they belong to.

DNS resolution should be end to end .. local machine to VCSA to ESXi host 

thanks,
