Remove vCenter from PSC domain

Hi,

I am trying to remove a vCenter server (windows based with embedded PSC) from a PSC domain:


I've tried both:

- cmsso-util unregister and vdcleavefed -h

but with now luck?

Any help or suggestion here?


Need I to shut down the old vCenter befote executing this/these commands??

Thank for seome hints!!

Yes, you'll need to shutdown the vCenter first. Also, in case that doesn't work, it's not officially supported to even have a vCenter with embedded PSC in linked mode, so you may encounter a failure regardless.

Hi!

Yes a shutdown before the vdcleavefed -h command worked now.

But when I log in to remaining vCenters in the PSC domain I receive the message that cannot connect to https://REMOVED_VCENTER_SERVER/SDK..

is now a reboot of all other needed here??
