What type of architecture are you attempting to deploy here? If you can, go back through the installation wizard and take screenshots of every page that shows the values you're providing. I know this sounds tedious, but it's the best way to get an understanding of your environment without going back and forth for dozens of posts.

do you have a case opened with support?

I think I've seen one on somebody having similar issue so checking is it the same instance or there is a trend

* Initial installation of vRealize Automation 7.x fails with a "Validation failed" status for the "Retry All IaaS" operation (59812)

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/59812

Workaround

  1. SSH into the vRealize Automation appliance in which is the master postgres node.
    1. su postgres
    2. psql
    3. \c vcac
  2. Run the following SQL update statement on the embedded vPostgres database:
UPDATE cluster_commands set output='' where type like '%install%';
  1. Re-initiate the "Retry All IaaS" operation again.
Note: If the SQL statement is executed before the installation is started, "Retry All IaaS" does not fail.
