Deploy vCenter failed in VMware VCF Bring-up process

Hello all,

I am doing a nested vcf lab and it is my first lab in vcf. I have 4 nested Esxi 2CPU-8 cores. When I tried to deploy the VMware VCF 3.8, it failed in Deploy vCenter Server. When I check log in /var/log/vmware/vcf/bringup/vcf-bringup-debug-log, it shows:

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "bringup".

I tried to deploy it two times and it stuck at the vCenter deployment. Any ideas how i can resolve it?

Regards.

The error was the NTP server was not configured. I didn't know it was so important for the bring up process.

The error point towards the passwd not being correct. Best check if the passwd is compliant with the vCenter pwd policy. And I dont mean just checking the Excel of Cloud builder. Check what the pwd requirements are for the vCenter and be sure to meet them.

Hey how did you fix the NTP server? I got an issue with cloud builder and host rejecting the windows NTP server and validation failed with warning.
