Environment

VCF Installer 9.0

Cause

The issue will be resolved in subsequent versions of VCF Installer.

This is not happening during deployment workflow, but only during validation.

Resolution

Update your deployment spec either by using .json deployment or via the UI wizard. 
Remove the spaces in VDS and PortGroup names if any exist.
