Voici la manière dont il faudra procéder pour faire pointer un nouveau serveur PSC (externe ou interne) pour votre serveur VCSA. Nous verrons dans cet article les options disponibles pour la commande “cmsso-util”. Je ne vous proposerai pas de LAB, le détail des commandes me semble suffisamment clair. Il faudra simplement que votre serveur de destination soit prêt pour recevoir les instructions de l’ancien serveur. Pensez a le déployer et qu’il soit accessible depuis votre appliance VCSA avant d’effectuer cette intervention. Avec cette commande, vous avez la possibilité de migrer d’un serveur avec un serveur PSC interne vers un externe ou d’un serveur PSC externe vers un autre serveur externe.

Dans un premier temps, connectez-vous en SSH sur votre vCenter (VCSA)

root@vcenterhome [ ~ ]# cmsso-util --help
 usage: cmsso-util [-h] {machinecert,unregister,reconfigure,repoint} ...

Tool for orchestrating changes to PNID, Machine Certificate, unregistering a
 node from Component Manager, SSO, reconfiguring a vCenter Server with embedded
 PSC and repointing a vCenter Server to an external PSC

positional arguments:
 {machinecert,unregister,reconfigure,repoint}
 machinecert Set machine SSL cert of this node. Note:- Services
 will be Restarted.
 unregister Unregister node. By default solution users, computer
 account and service endpoints will be unregistered.
 reconfigure Reconfigure a vCenter with an embedded Platform
 Services Controller(PSC) to a vCenter Server. Then it
 repoints to the provided external PSC node.
 repoint Repoints a vCenter with an external Platform Services
 Controller(PSC) to the provided external PSC node.

Voici les options pour migrer le PSC externe existant vers un autre serveur PSC externe.

root@vcenterhome [ ~ ]# cmsso-util repoint --help
 usage:
 # To repoint the vCenter Server with an external Platform Services
 Controller to another external Platform Services Controller with
 default HTTPS port(443).

>cmsso-util repoint --repoint-psc

# To repoint the vCenter Server with an external Platform Services
 Controller to another external Platform Services Controller with
 custom HTTPS port.
 >cmsso-util repoint --repoint-psc  --dc-port

optional arguments:
 -h, --help show this help message and exit

--repoint-psc PSC_NODE
 System Name (PNID) of the PSC node to repoint
 --dc-port DCPORT External Platform Services Controller(PSC) HTTPS Port,
 if --dc-port is not set, default 443 will be used
 --debug Set this flag to get command execution detail
