Hi all,
there one vCenter Server A with embedded PSC and a SSO-Domain, and there is a second (embedded) linked vCenter Server B which is using the same SSO Domain. Both are running vSphere 6.7 U1 (and later). The problem is, that vCenter A should be replaced because the domain-fqdn (Microsoft) should be changed which is not supported in this constellation - so I decided to deploy a new vCenter A_new and connected Hosts and inventory from vCenter A, which worked as expected. But now, is there a option to repoint vCenter B to the new vCenter A_new?
There are some information about smsso utility repointing a domain, but i am not sure if this works in my constellation.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
thanks
Markus
Hi hcimarkus,
Use the below command to perform cross domain repoint operation.But make sure to grab snapshot of both the nodes before performing any changes.You can run it from vcenter B (source) to Vcenter A (destination).
cmsso-util domain-repoint -m pre-check --src-emb-admin Administrator --dest-domain-name destination_PSC_domain
cmsso-util domain-repoint -m execute --src-emb-admin Administrator --dest-domain-name destination_PSC_domain

Hi Virtbay,
thanks for the reply. That worked for me. First, the repointing job failed, then I checked logs and decided a update of the source vCenter from 6.7U1 to 6.7U3. Then it worked really fine.
