installation is frozen at the step 2 vCenter 7 "Starting VMware Appliance Configuration"
No solution
I'm getting the same issue, stuck at 0% on stage 2. Tried installing on a sandbox host running exi 6.5. And I tried installing on a live system thru an existing vCenterServer too. Same result. Think I might try an older version of vCenter Server.
Do you have a DNS server with A record and PTR record for the vCSA?
IF no, please prepare a DNS and name resolution records on it.
Or please deploy vCSA without FQDN.
This is the guide for name resolution for vCSA.
DNS Requirements for the vCenter Server Appliance
And same situation was fixed before by same solution. (This thread is too long, so please read last two posts.)
I had an A record, but no pointer.
I tried version 7 again in my sandbox. Left the FQDN field blank in stage 1, put in the IP on stage 2 for hostname. Now I'm getting stuck at 22% Stage 2, Starting VMWare Security Token Service. Attempting a suggestion from another forum post. (seems to be working, the local host part in this discussion: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vSphere-Upgrade-Install/When-I-first-installed-vsphere-I-was-stuck...)
I tried version 7 again in my live environment, left the FQDN field blank in stage 1, couldn't change it on stage 2. Installed just fine!
I was able to install VCSA after creating an A and PTR record for the appliance. Thanks for your suggestion.
bingo! I chose the fqdn hostname option and didn't have an A record/PTR in DNS.
Thank you!
