Hi,

I am trying to deploy HCX from the Addons section in my Azure portal, but when I try to deploy, I get the following error. Could you please let me know what am I doing wrong here or how to mitigate this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Raju Chakraborty

    Hi Raju Chakraborty,

    The error suggests that Azure can't retrieve the vCenter TLS certificate secret URL properly, which is required for HCX deployment.

    Please check the following:
    Ensure your vCenter server has a valid TLS certificate installed. The certificate should be properly imported into Azure Key Vault.
    If you used a custom template or modified values, you might have entered an incorrect Key Vault URI or left the certificate value empty.
    When deploying the HCX add-on via the Azure Portal, ensure that you provide the correct certificate URI in the designated field.

    For detailed information: install HCX
