VMware center 6.7 deployment failed with error "The supplied system name is not valid. If the supplied system name is FQDN, then make sure the DNS forward lookup results in at least one valid IP address in the system"
Reason :
Any of the below issues may lead to failure of vmware vcenter 6.7 and vcenter 7 deployment.
Vcenter FQDN is not resolving from DNS server.
DNS reverse lookup is not working for vcenter FQDN because PTR record is not created in DNS server.
DNS server is not reachable over port 53 because port 53 is not opened in firewall.
Resolution:
As perquisites, perform below task before deployment of vcenter.
1. Create DNS record with PTR record for vcenter server and static IP before starting installation of vcenter.
2. Test DNS forward lookup and reverse lookup with vcenter hostname and IP using nslookup command before start deployment.
3. Ensure port 53 is open in firewall between vcenter ip and all DNS servers.
Once above prerequisites are configured, retry vcenter deployment again.
