Make sure vCenter, vSphere Replication, SRM and ESXi hosts are using the correct DNS server. (Decommissioned DNS must not be used) 2. Create forward and reverse lookup records in DNS for vCenter, vSphere Replication, SRM and ESXi hosts, if it does not exist. 3. If step 1 & 2 is not working, update the hosts file of vCenter, vSphere Replication and/or SRM in the way mentioned below. Update the hosts file at "/etc/hosts" file in the format of "IP FQDN Hostname"; Example: "192.168.11.20 SRM01.vmware.local SRM01" 1. Verify the DNS record for the host is correctly configured in DNS manager (forward/reverse lookup must be configured)2. Verify the hostname in DCUI matches the DNS record 3. Verify the Primary & alternate DNS servers are correct & working from the host.4. Verfiy the custom DNS suffix is set
