Hypershift agent based installation on Vmware Vsphere OCP cluster causes capi-provider pod crash

4.18    

    100%

Once the hosts get bound to HCP cluster, the nodepool shows incorrect status.

The machines do not show any NodeName.

The capi-provider pod also crashes.

    The HostedCluster agent based deployment is not complete.

     The HostedCluster deployment should be successfull, nodepool should show the nodes getting registered.

The machines should have nodename in reference.
