Environment Details

Standard VMware internal MaaS deployment. Photon OS 5 OVA from: https://packages.vmware.com/photon/5.0/GA/ova/photon-hw15-5.0-dde71ec57.x86_64.ova

Environmental variables set as $sddcManagerFqdn = "sddc-manager.vrack.vsphere.local" $sddcManagerUser = "administrator@vsphere.local" $sddcManagerPass = "VMware123!" $workloadDomain = "sddcId-1001" $cluster = "SDDC-Cluster1" $certificateDirectory = "/root/CRT" $certificateFileExt = ".crt"

Description

Followed https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/5.0/vcf-operations/GUID-F431F343-B55C-495A-BE92-32483AC825D7.html#GUID-748DCB72-8610-44CA-B288-4FF598C9427D__GUID-BBB73B3E-1391-4A5E-A5B6-D79CD600BCB3 for replacing ESXi certificates in the management domain. All commands up until Install-VCFCertificate run without issues.

Install-VCFCertificate -esxi -server $sddcManagerFqdn -user $sddcManagerUser -pass $sddcManagerPass -domain $workloadDomain -cluster $cluster -certificateDirectory $certificateDirectory -certificateFileExt $certificateFileExt runs, for 15 seconds, then but all 4 hosts in the management cluster are skipped. No certificates are uploaded and no error is displayed.

Error or Debug Output

No error output.

Expected Behavior

Hosts to enter maintenance mode with full data evacuation, certificate replaced and host rebooted in a rolling fashion.

Actual Behavior

No certificates are replaced on the hosts.

Steps to Reproduce

Install Photon OS 5

tdnf -y update tdnf -y install wget tar git patch build-essential gcc zlib-devel openssl-devel powershell
