Hello,
So i'm setting up multi-site PSC environment. There is a PSC and VC on Site-1 and another PSC and VC on the Site-2.
The Site-1 installation was straight forward. Installed the OSC and joined the VC to that. While installing the second PSC we ran into some time sync issues and the installation failed. When I try to do the installation again, i can see that the entry for the site name of Site-2 is already present and is not letting me choose the option "create a new SSO site" with the same name. Both the Site-A and Site-B (Failed install) are showing under "Join an existing site" dropdown.
My question is, how do i get rid of this entry from the Site-1 PSC? I have already unconfigured the node and using the vcleavefed command.
I will get input from my colleagues and will update if I get any input.
Hi Abhilash,
This is a known issue. To resolve this issue, unregister the failed machine using the cmsso-util command.
To unregister the failed machine:
shell.set --enabled true
command.shell
command to start the Bash shell and log in.cmsso-util unregister
command to unregister the failed Platform Services Controller or vCenter Server:cmsso-util unregister --node-pnid FQDN_of_failed_PSC_or_vCenter --username administrator@your_domain_name --passwd vCenter-Single-Sign-On-password
Where FQDN_of_failed_PSC_or_vCenter is the FQDN or IP address of the Platform Services Controller or vCenter Server that failed to install. Ensure that this is the correct FQDN or IP address before executing.Additional Information:
--------------------------------
cmsso-util command may fail when removing a node with the error:
Could not find a host id which maps Hostname to in Component Manager Failed!!!
If this occurs, run this command:
/usr/lib/vmware-vmdir/bin/vdcleavefed -h -u [-w ]
For example:
vdcleavefed -h psc003.domain.local -u Administrator -w Passw0rd!
Upon successful execution, you see output similar to:
/usr/lib/vmware-vmdir/bin/vdcleavefed -h psc4.vclouud.local -u administrator
password:
vdcleavefd offline for server psc4.vcloud.local
Leave federation cleanup done
If the PSC or vCenter Server node is still active, you see this error.
/usr/lib/vmware-vmdir/bin/vdcleavefed -h psc4.vcloud.local -u administrator@vsphere.local
password:
vdcleavefd offline for server psc4.vcloud.local
Leave federation cleanup failed. Error[1] - Operations error
Note: Shut down the vCenter Server or PSC before execution.
-------------------------------
(or )
You can also install new PSC with the same IP but with different FQDN name as it is already registered with existing FQDN but stale entry will be there if you re-install with new FQDN with same IP.
If it is useful, plz mark answer as correct or helpful.
