ISSUES I RAN INTO

Activation problem

This is a NTP drift problem – failed calling remote endpoint, response: null

Update time setting through https://fqdn_ip_hcx/9443

Wrong key used during activation you get this error – unable to activate with the details provided

Try to deploy the ova file you get – A fatal error has occurred. Unable to continue.

Start the content library service in vCenter

If you have an issue with paring the site, the sso account might not be working with hcx try to login with the sso account on hcx

https://hcx_ip_fqdn

Otherwise, could be a certificate issue. Import the vcenter certificates and hcx certificates into each hcx appliance see below screen cap

Here are some troubleshooting commands you can use

Test from source to destination and destination to source

curl -k -v https://172.168.1.128

Test SSH is working to each hcx server

Ping each hcx device from each other

ping -M do -s 1472 10.0.0.56

Trace route each hcx device from each other

traceroute 172.168.1.128

Also check the role mapping to see if it has access see below screenshot
