We can further validate this change by logging into the vCenter Server Appliance Management Interface (VAMI) on port 5480. To continue, answer the question (Y or N) to confirm all settings are correct to proceed with the repointing operations.

Also, the Destination domain name ( -dest-domain-name) equals the name of the new SSO Domain you are pointing the Source vCenter Server to. NOTE: The SSO Administrator ( credentials of the Source vCenter Server are required here. Run the below command: cmsso-util domain-repoint -m execute -src-emb-admin Administrator -dest-domain-name virtuallyvtrue.local Provide the root credentials to login to the appliance. SSH to the vCenter Server that will be re-pointed to a new SSO Domain. We can also see that the vCenter Server is an embedded deployment type. Notice that my Single Sign-On domain is vsphere.local currently.

In my lab I am repointing which is my vCenter Server 6.7 Update 2. I installed certificate on my computer so now it is showing secure connection when I login to browser however I am still not able to run this command in vcenter CLI. External PSCRepoint vCenter to PSC(if two PSC share the same SSO domain.

In the event of an issue, the vCenter Server can then be quickly restored to its last state. VMware vSphere - Install Configure Manage v6 Student Lecture Manual(1).pdf. To ensure no loss of data, take a File-Based backup of each vCenter Server before proceeding with domain repointing.

Starting with vSphere 6.7 Update 1, you can move a vCenter Server with an embedded Platform Services Controller from one vSphere domain to another vSphere domain If there is a need to repoint a vCenter Server from its current domain to a brand new SSO Domain, that is also possible. This powerful feature can not only help customers with mergers & acquisitions who may have a need to change the name of an SSO Domain but also joining two different SSO Domains into one common domain. I can see very little value in sticking with vCenter Server for Windows with the release of vSphere 6.5 round the corner. Additionally, I’ll be adding a second vCenter Server Appliance set up in Enhanced Linked Mode. SSO Domain Repoiting was introduced to allow the repointing of a vCenter Server from one SSO Domain to another, something that was not possible in vSphere 6.0/6.5. The vCenter Server being repointed, moves from its current SSO domain and joins the other existing domain as another vCenter Server connected via Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM). This time round, I opted for vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) with an external Platform Services Controller (PSC).
