VMware vCenter VCSA 6.5 Upgrade “Error: queryAaaa ENODATA”

During an upgrade I got the following error: “A problem occurred  while getting data from the source vCenter Server”

And the install log has the following information.

I was unable to find any solutions using google, but I figured it had something to do with DNS, so I was looking in that direction, and it payed off. I found that on this vCenter there was only one DNS server, so at first I though it might be a bug relating to this, but it turned out that it was also getting the DNS server using DHCP even though the vCenter var running with static IP.

I then changed it to use static DNS server, using the VAMI interface on vCenter, and this error went away.
