I had similar problem with vCenter 7.0 , esxi 6.7u3 and vRA 8. After I upgraded esxi 7 , I am able to deploy without any issue

Check you DNS and NTP. Test the connectivity between VLCM and your vCenter

[Ravi_2355]

Hi , DNS is working fine . NTP i am using as esxi host. all components are resolving names as per expectation.

[Ravi_2355]

I have observed that VAMI is not appearing on VRA appliance . is there any special net work setting which needs to be looked after.

I just had the same problem, this was because, there was duplicate PTR records to the IP address for the vRA server.

10.10.10.10 resolved to vra.doman.loca. and server10.domain.local

just deleted the PTR for server10.

Hi,

Are you able to resolve it? I am having same issue. DNS is working fine.

I know this is old - but yep, duplicate PTR records was the problem for me too.
