VCF import tool failed with the error "Failed to install VMCA Certificate on SDDC Manager"

Products

• VMware SDDC Manager

Issue/Introduction

VCF import tool fails with errors "Could not complete convert domain operation for vCenter" :

On checking the domain manager logs we find the error "Failed to install VMCA Certificate on SDDC Manager"

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x

Resolution

As a workaround we added the SDDC and VC FQDN and IP in /etc/hosts file. 

For eg:

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.0.1   photon

<SDDC_IP>  <SDDC_FQDN>
<VC_IP> <VC_FQDN>
