VRA 7 Installation Wizard stuck on "Waiting for Host to Trigger Prerequisite Check"

I'm attempting to use the vRA 7 installation wizard and it continues to stop on the prerequisite check with this message:  "Waiting for Host to Trigger Prerequisite Check" - it will stay there for hours without doing anything.  Any ideas?  I tried adding a manual entry to the hosts file to the IAAS system.  Any other ideas?

Maybe a silly question, but have you installed the management agents on the IaaS server(s)?

Thanks - actually I went through the logs and discovered that it wasn't resolving DNS correctly.  Upon further investigation I discovered there was a forward, but not a reverse DNS entry for VRA in DNS.  After I added this, it worked.  Thanks for replying.

Had similar issue due to typo in DNS.

Once the DNS is fixed, the status straight away changed from "Waiting for host to trigger.." to "In progress ..."
