✅ Ensure Network Connectivity to vCenter
The VM running the AWS MGN vCenter Client must have uninterrupted network access to the vCenter Server.
If the MGN client cannot reach vCenter (firewall, routing, DNS, or port issues), the installation will fail or the service will not start properly.
Make sure the following are open and reachable:
- vCenter IP or hostname
- Port 443 (HTTPS)
- DNS resolution (if using hostname)
- No outbound restrictions blocking AWS endpoints
This is a critical requirement that is easy to overlook.
