    <title>topic Installing vCenter 6.0 with external PSC in vSphere Upgrade &amp; Install Discussions</title>
    <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vSphere-Upgrade-Install/Installing-vCenter-6-0-with-external-PSC/m-p/2225984#M25867</link>
    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am building a test environment for a new vSphere 6.0 install to replace the 5.5 infrastructure in use now. I installed the PSC on a VM and it seems to be working fine, but when I try to install vCenter on a different VM it complains that it can't reach the PSC. I can ping the FQDN of both machines from the other, firewall is turned off, tried all the usual things.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The odd thing is, if I just use the server name for the PSC rather than the fully qualified name, it connects, but it complains that the cert on the PSC doesn't match what I entered, which is true, I used the FQDN on the PSC. It will also connect using the ip address, but again the cert doesn't match.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyone have any idea why it would act this way? It does not appear to be a DNS issue, pings work correctly with FQDN, nslookup resolves the FQDN correctly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I appreciate any advice&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello, Matt.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It looks like the short name was used during when installing/setting up the PSC. Because of it the certificate was generated within the short name.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The product walkthrough steps 11 &amp;amp; 12 might help you understand what might have happened: &lt;A href="https://featurewalkthrough.vmware.com/#!/vsphere-6-0/vcenter-server-install/vcsa-6-0-install-with-external-psc" title="https://featurewalkthrough.vmware.com/#!/vsphere-6-0/vcenter-server-install/vcsa-6-0-install-with-external-psc"&gt;Product Walkthroughs&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Check if the hostname on cert is correct. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you for your response. I have screenshots from when I did the installation and I did use the FQDN when I did the PSC install. If I can't figure it out this morning I'm just going to uninstall the PSC and do the install again.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your willingness to help&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;To clarify what I see, when I use the FQDN, which I have verified as the one I used in the PSC install here's what I get:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="With FQDN.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/65399i3AE5702D8992C895/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="With FQDN.png" alt="With FQDN.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When I use just the short name for the PSC server here's what I get:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Short Name.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/65400i5A20D836C658A30A/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Short Name.png" alt="Short Name.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Which does make sense because I used the FQDN during the install now I'm using the short name. I did do a complete reinstall this morning just to make double sure and still doesn't work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

Or it is just a single node deploy without a LB?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
