We have to decomission a vcenter with embedded PSC from an ELM configuration
The main Vcenter with its embedded PSC will remain in HQ site .
Following the kb VMware Knowledge Base we performed the below steps
On the vcenter/PSC to be decomissioned we first run the command to unregister the vcenter
cmsso-util unregister --node-pnid prdvcsadr.xxx.com --username administrator@vsphere.local --passwd xxxx
the command reported

After that we checked the main Vcenter and we found that the remote vcenter was correctly removed
So we went through the step to unregister the remote's PSC from the main site
We shut down the DR appliance ( PSC) and performed the following command on the main site's appliance
root@prdvcsa [ ~ ]# cmsso-util unregister --node-pnid prdvcsadr.xxxx.com - -username administrator@vsphere.local--passwd xxxx
and got the following error
Could not find a host id which maps to prdvcsadr.xxxx.com in Component Manage r
Failed!!!

Can anyone explain if this expected since we already unregister the DR's vcenter or if there's something wrong in the procedure ?
thanks
