  • 1.  vCenter migration claims there are DNS issues

    Posted Nov 28, 2016 06:39 AM

    Hello,

    I have this issue when migrating a 6.0 vCenter to 6.5:

    Error

    Host name vS-vCenter1.dpsi.jp is not DNS resolvable, but matches the machine certificates. If you do not configure a valid DNS resolvable hostname mapping, then you might not be able to connect to the vCSA afterwards

    Resolution

    Either update appliance /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf file to properly access DNS servers or update appliance DNS servers with the proper host name mapping. To check if DNS server has record about local host name, execute `dig vS-vCenter1.dpsi.jp +short` locally on the appliance, or `nslookup vS-vCenter1.dpsi.jp` on a windows machine.

    The commands suggested work as expected, and DNS records all resolve correctly.

    What could the issue be?

    On vCSA, can you 'dig -x 192.168.1.11'?

    Are all hosts involved querying the same DNS server(s)?  If you have more than one, 'dig @192.168.2.2 -x 192.168.1.11', for example.  Make sure everything resolves forward and back everywhere.

    Only 1 DNS server which is 192.168.1.1 and it returns the correct results. Not sure why it isn't working.
