DSM - Unable to create database: fqdn suffix is empty

Products

• VMware Data Services Manager

Issue/Introduction

When you first setup DSM 1.x, the provider console comes with a default organization that is created when the tool is first installed. 

Once you satisfy all the prerequisites, when you go to create the database, you get the following error message:

error: Failed to create Database : fqdn suffix is empty

Environment

Product Version: 1.0

Resolution

The organization needs to be updated to include a FQDN (fully qualified domain name). Once you populate this field, you can then proceed to create a database.



The DB FQDN Suffix is described in the product documentation:
