Cannot register 2nd vCenter 6.0 in OMIVV 4.0.1

I try to register a 2nd vCenter in OMIVV (latest version 4.0.1), but it fails with error:

"An unknown Exception occured and was logged in the extended protocols."

In the other registered vCenter, I only see this lines logged:

ERROR,7/18/2017 12:49:58 PM (GMT+2),An unknown exception has occurred and has been logged in the extended logs.
INFO,7/18/2017 12:49:56 PM (GMT+2),License granted to vCenter : License remaining 8 .

Also tried with the IP address, same error. 

How can I access the extended logs?

Hi,

For extended logs

1.login to OMIVV Administrator Console.

2.Navigate to Appliance Management .

3.Click on Generate Troubleshooting Bundle.

Thanks. Was able to generate the logs now. All I see when I try to register a 2nd vCenter is this:

Thanks for sharing the details . In between I observed in logs

INFO com.dell.pg.spectre.commons.utilities.DNSJavaResolver Message[[DNS Resolver] Finding DNS information for: xx2.yy.office ]

INFO com.dell.pg.spectre.commons.utilities.DNSJavaResolver Message[No aliases found for host xx2.yy.office]

Later it could resolve also.

You can confirm the vCenter DNS settings are all good as logs indicating some network issues.

Thanks.

> You can confirm the vCenter DNS settings are all good as logs indicating some network issues.

Can you elaborate what you mean?

The Host can be resolved as you can see in the logs:

INFO com.dell.pg.spectre.commons.utilities.DNSJavaResolver Message[[DNS Resolver] DNS Record found for: xx2.yy.office]

No Events found!
