vCenter 6.0 -> 6.5 Upgrade 'Failed normalizing ip" Messages

[GBartsch]

Does anyone know what the message Failed normalizing ip: <FQDN> means when upgrading a vCenter server from 6.0 to 6.5?

I'm using the 6.5 CLI upgrader, and I'm getting this "Failed normalizing ip:" message, but with no any other useful diagnostic information.

No idea. May have some idea if you show what and how you're passing commands to the CLI upgrader.

[GBartsch]

It's simply the standard CLI commands...

You prep your .JSON file for the type of upgrade destination, and then you enter the command-line parameters.  In this case, there is nothing unusual...

vcsa-deploy upgrade --accept-eula --acknowledge-ceip --log-dir=<path> <JSON FIle with path>

Nothing interesting.  Thought I do typically add the verbose flag as well (--verbose)...

During the process, you see the occasional 'failed normalizing ip: <FQDN> of the vCenter or PSC'

I don't see it in any of our documentation, or posted anywhere else.
