Checked in genesis log, found the below message



Failed to set up key based SSH access to hypervisor, most likely because we do not have the correct password cached. Please run fix_host_ssh command manually to fix this problem.





Unable to ssh host. Please check and let me know
Are you able to SSH to esx host on private and public IP manually from the CVM where you are getting this error.



Maybe you can try restarting genesis and run cluster create command once again.



To restart the genesis, run following command



genesis restart
Issue got resolved by below steps:



Restart the genesis, still same.



Tried to SSH the host from CVM, getting the below error message



#FIPS mode initialized

#Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer.



Re-generated the SSH Keys in the host and restarted the SSH service in the host.



And issue got resolved.
