County ESXi transport-node install stays stuck because the NSX VIB depot is unreachable from the host. What should the administrator check first?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Host prep is a delivery truck that has to reach the depot. If the VIB source is unreachable, the transport node never finishes. A DFW rule for an app VIP will not fetch those packages.
Full Explanation
Transport-node installation failures are install-path problems: Manager-to-host connectivity, version compatibility, and depot or VIB reachability. Until the host can reach NSX Manager and the VIB depot, host preparation cannot finish and the node stays stuck. Distributed Firewall application rules, Identity Firewall membership, and Carbon Black Cloud sensor policy do not install NSX VIBs on the host.
