I tried Deploying the vCloud 10.2.0.5190-17029810 Appliance and I just can’t get it to get past the step where the hostname is added.
I filled in the correct information for Domain Search Path and Domain Name when deploying the OVA and yet for some reason, it keeps switching back to the name ‘photon-machine’
I filled out Domain Search Path as subdomain.mydomain.com and Domain Name as mydomain.com
Is this a known issue with this version of vCloud Director?
