I tried to deploy the Photon Cluster, but it failes when trying to add ESXi to Lightwave Domain, this is the error:

I had the same issue on a upgraded ESX from 6.0 to 6.5 and after applying patch 201701001. After multiples investigations and because I was on PoC installation, we have reinstalled the ESX with 6.5D release. Now it's working fine. I know that I did not figure out the issue.
I was a lock on lightwave.v00 file on ESX that constraints to not remove the vib.

Upgrading to the correct versions does not seem to work. You have to fresh install the desired ESXi version.
