Hey mdshyfurr​,

I can see this in your logs: 2020-08-23T12:28:40.121Z - error: Could not get response in 30000 ms, from host: vc.home.lab

It seems that you cannot reach vCenter Server frome the computer/server/vm that you are running the Easy Installer. Please make sure that you are able to reach it using port 443, Also i can see that the OVF Deployment is not even starting so i suggest you to do the deploy from a server where you are in the same subnet as vCenter to avoid any firewall issue.

Also make sure that the IDM, vRA and vRLCM that you are deploying has access to vCenter from the networks that you are deploying them as if not it will fail again.

Hi Lalegre

I just check and re-ran the installation process. but still the same. i also checked that 443 port is reachable from the installation source. image attached for your ref. all are in same subnet. something wired.

regards,

Shyfur

Hey mdshyfurr​,

Could you please also try to verify if the ISO has been downloaded correctly? Try to compare the MD5, SHA1 or SHA256 checksum to see if they matches with the one published in VMware site:

That is an example for vRA 8.1 but if you are installing other version you can also check that one on the "Read More" behind the ISO in VMware site. For comparing that you can download a checksum checker.
