Kept getting the error in the build about Incorrect SDDC Manager hostname.

Didn’t notice at first but the SDDC manager host name was set to SDDC-manager, weirdly in the OVF deployment i’d told it to use IP address and do a reverse lookup to find the name. SSH’d to the appliance it was called sddc-manager so just ran hostname XYZ (not FQDN).

then the check completed and i was able to build VCF 9
