I've deployed VDP 6.1.2 and the configuration went smoothly (test connection to vCenter with proper permissions worked successfully), but after the the appliance rebooted it hung at 70% complete for the VDP:Configure appliance task. In the /usr/local/avamar/var/vdr/server_logs/vdr-server.log the VDP appliance can't connect to the vCenter server. Any idea as to how to fix this? Is there a config file I need to update?
