VCF Deployment Experiences: What Worked, What Hurt, What Surprised You?

[VCF Insider]

VCF deployments always seem simple on paper until the real environment gets involved.

Use this thread to share field notes from deployments, upgrades, imports, brownfield work, validation issues, or lessons learned.

Good topics include:

- Bring-up blockers
- SDDC Manager validation errors
- NSX deployment issues
- Certificate or thumbprint problems
- DNS, NTP, and identity mistakes
- Hardware or resource sizing surprises
- Upgrade sequencing lessons

The goal is practical experience from the field.
