Hi!

This puzzles me..

I have previously been able to deploy my NSX Manager Appliance without any problems..

The command below successfully deploys the NSX Manager appliance. However, the appliance is not able to set the passwords and IP.

When the appliance boots for the first time I have to log in with the default username and password.

Next, I have to run the "setup" command to set the IP address.

What could be wrong? Is there something missing in the deployment command?

I can successfully resolve the hostname of the appliance from the ESXi hosts, PSC and VCS. I am also able to ping between all of them.

The exception is the NSX appliance. I am only able to get a successful ping reply after I run the setup command, and reboot the appliance.
