This is a short post to help anyone who may have been temporarily stumped trying to enable per-VM EVC for VMotion between clusters.

When deploying VMWare VCSA in a lab environment the installer often gets stuck at stage 2 starting services. In my case, starting authentication network 2%. This seems to be an issue with VCSA wanting to verify the SSO domain through DNS resolution.
The solution for me was to create an entry in the hosts file of the VCSA appliance through SSH to the CLI. Before doing so, it is best to start from scratch. Delete the partially deployed VCSA appliance. Deploy VCSA through Stage 1 but do not enter Stage 2.
