Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0

Cause

The vcf installer was deployed using the short name. 
The certificate that was created as part of installation contains the short name CN

Resolution

Use the short name instead of IP Address/FQDN for the --sddc-manager-fqdn parameter when using the vcf-download-tool to upload binaries.

For e.g.

$> /opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/vcf-download/bin/vcf-download-tool binaries upload --depot-store /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/download/ --sddc-manager-fqdn sddc-manager --sddc-manager-user admin@local
