Known Issues

Issue #1398 (WORKAROUND AVAILABLE) - Management Cluster deploy from Windows bootstrap to vSphere fails with Error: unable to ensure prerequisite ... certificate signed by unknown authority

WORKAROUND
On Windows go the file %USERPROFILE%.config\tanzu\tkg and append a line to disable certificate verification, with the end resulting file looking like this:

release:
    version: ""
TKG_CUSTOM_IMAGE_REPOSITORY_SKIP_TLS_VERIFY: true

Then retry a management cluster install.
