I ran into an issue with SDDC Manager getting stuck at “VMware Cloud Foundation is initializing…” today. I rebooted and restarted services to no avail. I checked the log:
/var/log/vmware/vcf/operationsmanager/operationsmanager.log I was immediately greeted with DNS errors:
java.net.UnknownHostException: vcf-mgmt1-vc1.lab.blaz.tech: Temporary failure in name resolutionSo, no life-change master tricks here, but a friendly reminder that it’s always DNS. My docker container went boom in the night and I hadn’t yet configured backup DNS in SDDC Manager.
