Install error - failed to deploy ssvm: hostname doesn't match

Question

Hi, 
 I am trying to deploy a SVE 1.2 SVM on VMware6.0. The deployment fails with the error message: 
 failed to deploy ssvm: hostname u'[IP ADDRESS]' doesn't match '[ESX HOST NAME] 
 The first error in the log file is: 
 2018-02-28 12:36:08,335 [INFO][19080][ControllerProgress.__updateState]: State of '[ESX HOST NAME]' changed to 'Failed to send: C:\SVE certs\ESXI1-SVEVM.pfx' 
 Any idea what could be causing this or how to proceed? 
 
 thanks in advance!

One of our issues was that our CA was issuing sha1 signed certificates and sha256 is required. 
 The issue still occurred intermittently and our workaround was to deploy the security vms to a different cluster on the same vcenter then shut them down and migrate them to where we wanted them.
