Deploying vcenter 6.5
Hello,
I have been trying to install vcenter 6.5 for 8 hours now and can't deply vcenter. When deploying vcenter it get stuck on installing RPM this may take serveral minutes and its at 80%.
I created a dns virtual machine and I added vcenter and IP address in forward and reverse lookup and I tried to deploy vcenter and no luck. Can someone please tell me where to look?
and I also have a question....do I need to promote a domain controller and add the vcenter name inside Active directory before deplying? I did that and still no luck.
While vcenter was deplying I did see a error message saying timeout waiting for device dev-swap_vg-swap1.device
depend -dependency failed for /dev/swap_vg/swap1
depend - dependency failed for swap
In my opinion I think I just have something simple that is not in the right place.
Please help.

I have my laptop pointing to my dns server and I created a forward and reverse lookup . which I can ping the server and do a nslookup.
For a start you should use a FQDN for the name.
but this is not the issue until later, what did you download ?
do you have a license ?

No, you do not need to do this for initial deployment.
that's good, but at this stage it's not using DNS yet...
What version have you downloaded ?
Is this Part 1 or Part 2 of the deployment ?
