Fresh install of VCSA 7.0.3-20990077, the installer gave the error that phase two wont complete because the VM is not responding and to use the web interface to finish. The web interface gives a "refused to connect" error. I have tried stopping and restarting all services and it always fails at the lookup service. I have checked the hosts file, and nslookup from the vcenter VM command line and they resolve correctly, also the hostname resolves correctly on other machines. I haven’t been able to find a KB or article that describes my situation exactly nor has a working remedy. Additionally because the VM is a fresh install and the services have never started before, there are no log files to look at.
After an unsuccessful reattempt at restart I get this error from the service status query. Any help would be appreciated.
