VMware Component Manager won't start during vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 Installer process

[ikt]

Hi, i have tried to install VCSA but it gets stuck during the installation when it tries to start VMware Component Manager. I have made sure that it can communicate with the host, DNS and the internet. I'm not really sure what causes the issue since i have followed the steps that worked in a similar installation for another host.

I have also tried a fix that worked like this.

Pause the install process right before phase 2.

Open a console to the appliance, enable SSH

On the appliance, echo "::1 localhost.localdom localhost" >> /etc/hosts

But that did not work either.

Please show screenshots of all the values you used during the installation process. It's much easier to narrow this down if you can do that. Installation problems of vCSA are usually caused by one of three things:

1. Not using correct values during the installer
2. Not having forward and reverse DNS properly set up
3. Not having NTP synchronization using the same internal source between destination ESXi host, vCSA from the installer, or the workstation from which you're deploying the vCSA
