Hi Zeebahi,
After you have configured the hostnames of your ESXi hosts, you must regenerate the self-signed certificates on each host to ensure the correct common name is present in the certificates.
During the installation of an ESXi host, the installer generates a self-signed certificate that contains localhost.localdomain as the common name. After you configure the hostname of a host, a mismatch between the hostname and the common name in the certificate occurs. VMware Cloud Builder communicates with ESXi hosts securely over HTTPS and validates the identity of a host by comparing the common name of the certificate with the FQDN provided in the VMware Cloud Builder configuration file.
See Regenerate the Self-Signed Certificate on All Hosts
Other Check:
- no uppercase letters on FQDN
- ensure DNS fwd and reverse matches
- and you have all the networks and connectivity in place
If you are in Nested Enviroment (for example William Lam VCF Lab) re-check all the parameters, for example the "VM Password" variable ($VMPassword) and retry.
