Hi,

I seem to be having a problem deploying Prism Central using the automated deployment. Everything seems to go through fine, the VM is created however the install task always fails.

Looking at the Prism Central VM, it seems the httpd service cannot start up, with the error:

code:
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status httpd.service
● httpd.service - The Apache HTTP Server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

I'm not sure why the server.cert file is not present. Is there anything I can do to create it?

Thanks!

Did you ever figure this out? Deploying a new cluster using foundation and ran into this issue also.
