IaaS distributed installation error everytime on Server 2012R2

[jwhites]

I have tried literally everything in the world on google and even stuff that does not relate when trying to fix this...but basically install fails half way through and here is the log part where the error starts:  Anyone have any ideas? There are no firewalls anywhere.  The database gets created on the server everytime I run this.  Every pre-req is installed, everything shows up fine in the pre-req checker.

see this thread for my F5 Configs:

vcac 6.1 HA w/ F5

That's awesome.. But we have a problem here.. Our linux machines have to go through infoblox where users just specify the network segment in the request form then workflow contacts IB plugin to get the next available IP in the segment and registers a host record. But when a Windows VM is deployed they will give the static IP in the request form and custom properties will help the workflow to join the server to AD and then gets a DNS record registered. Will this work with your customization? Just curious.

Good catch, i also added that functionality when i re-wrote the plugin. Its a bit customized to my environment. The workflow looks for the existence of Infoblox.IPAM.staticIpAddress, if that is populated then it doesn't do a get next ip it just registers a PTR or Host record with the input IP based off the default infoblox.ipam. custom properties. To get this to work i still had to ask them for these in the vRA workflow:

custom.hostname                         in my case this is just the hostname (i concatenate this with the domain in vRO to name the machine)

Infoblox.IPAM.defaultDnsSuffix     so i can register HOST records

Infoblox.IPAM.networkAddress      x.x.x.0 (assuming its a /24)

Infoblox.IPAM.networkCidr           24 (assuming its a /24)

Infoblox.IPAM.staticIpAddress      x.x.x.100 (assuming the ip is a /24 with 100 as the last octet)

[pizzle85]

Here's the package. I had to create a few custom actions to get everything i wanted to work. Feel free to take a look and use what you want.

I don't know how you figured out the F5 configuration settings to work through the installation. I'm not familiar with the F5 piece and I gave it to my network engineer and he did those Performance Layer 4 changes and there you go.. The installation was butter smooth..

Bunch of thanks to you..

I will eventually get to the Infoblox integration and will then use your package. Thanks a lot for your help pizzle85.
