Ensure that the ESXi host management interface has a valid DNS resolution from the vCenter Server and all

vSphere Clients and vSphere Web Clients. Ensure that the vCenter Server has a valid DNS resolution from all

ESXi hosts and all vSphere Clients and vSphere Web Clients. Ensure that the vCenter Server is installed on a

machine that has a resolvable fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

If you use DHCP instead of a static IP address for vCenter Server, make sure that the vCenter Server computer

name is updated in the domain name service (DNS). Ping the computer name to test the connection. For

example, if the computer name is host-1.company.com, you can ping the name by running the following

command in the Windows command prompt:

ping host-1.company.com

If you can ping the computer name, the name is updated in DNS.
