The hostname shown in /etc/hosts and when using the hostname -f command do not match the  FQDN that is configured for the PNID of the vCenter.

For example:
root@vcsa1 [ ~ ]# hostname -f;
vcsa1.subdomain.mydomain.com

root@vcsa1 [ ~ ]# /usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vmafd-cli get-pnid --server-name localhost;
vcsa1.mydomain.com

Cause

This issue is caused by a mismatch between the FQDN that was configured as the PNID during the vCenter Server deployment and the hostname that is currently configured.

Resolution

To resolve the issue, follow the steps below:

Connect to the source vCenter via SSH.

Find the current PNID using the command below:

/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vmafd-cli get-pnid --server-name localhost;

Run the command below to enter the network configuration:

/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_config_net;

Select option 3, Hostname and enter the FQDN returned from step 2.

Select option 1 to exit the network configuration.

Reboot the vCenter Server using the command below:

reboot -f;

Note: Rebooting the vCenter Server will make it temporarily unavailable for use.
