This article provides information on VMware Convergence Tool for migrating vCenter Server Appliance with external Platform Services Controller to vCenter Server Appliance with embedded Platform Services Controller when using PSC HA.For more information, see VMware Documentation on the basics of convergence tool.
1. Converge all vCenter Server Appliances using either method: a. Converge to an Embedded Platform Services Controller Node Using the vSphere Client b. Converging to an Embedded Platform Services Controller Node Using the Command-Line Utility 2. Decommission all external Platform Services Controllers using either method: a. Decommission the Platform Services Controller Using the vShere Client b. Decommission the Platform Services Controller Using the Command-Line Utility 3. Using SSH, log into any of the previously converged vCenter Server Appliances as the root user.4. Run the cmsso-util command to unregister the PSC HA service endpoints. cmsso-util unregister --node-pnid <psc-ha-vip-fqdn> --username administrator@vsphere.local Note: The command will display an error "ERROR unregistering computer account." This is expected as there is no computer account object associated with the PSC HA FQDN For more information about cmsso-util, see KB 21067365. Run this command to confirm that no PSC HA service endpoints contains the decommissioned PSC HA VIP python /usr/lib/vmidentity/tools/scripts/lstool.py list --url http://localhost:7080/lookupservice/sdk 2> /dev/null | grep URL | grep <psc-ha-vip-fqdn>or newer version/usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/tools/lstool.py list --url http://localhost:7080/lookupservice/sdk 2> /dev/null | grep URL | grep <psc-ha-vip-fqdn> 6. Remove the PSC HA configuration from your Load Balancer. (Consult the respective load balancer documentation)
