Environment

VCF Automation 9.0
VCF Operations 9.0
Fleet Management 9.0

Cause

One IP configuration was invalidated.
This IP "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" was configured in NSX VTEP IPPOOL.
But it had been used for a ESXi host's management IP at same time.

Resolution

It's difficult to change the ESXi management IP configuration when the VCF deployment had been in the progress of 86% .

It should re-deploy the ESXi with correct IP configuration, then restart the VCF Automation Deployment.
