Explanation

During VMware Cloud Foundation bring-up, time synchronization across all management components is mandatory. The VCF Installer, ESXi hosts, NSX Manager nodes, and vCenter must all sync to the same NTP servers. If even one host or component has a time skew exceeding VMware's allowed limits, VCF will report time sync errors during bring-up or post- The administrator validated NTP configuration, DNS resolution, ping connectivity, and time sync only on the VCF Installer appliance, but did not verify the ESXi hosts' time synchronization. NSX Manager obtains its time reference from the underlying ESXi host during deployment, so if the ESXi hosts are not synchronized with the same NTP sources, NSX Manager will drift, triggering the exact error described.
