Hi all,
i´ve an doubt about a procedure i´ll need to do.
I´ve two linked vcenter on sso domain vsphere.local, and a Horizon view platform, have another two linked vcenter on another sso domain, and Horizon view plataform, that is vsphere.local too
I need the 4 vcenter connected to first sso domain vsphere.local, using the repoint to get all linked, horizon view will have any disruption?
tks.
If I understood it correctly, you want to repoint your linked clones from vcenter to another vcenter, if this is the case, it is not officially supported by VMware for linked clones/Instant clones because your linked clones will work as long as vcenter hostname and IP address is same. If in case IP or hostname changes, you have to recreate linked clones Otherwise they be in error status in view admin page.
You can copy your full clones VDIs from one vcenter to another however linked clones/Instant clones won't work. The only option is to recreate them.
There are 3rd party blogs to achieve it however not officially supported hence I would not recommend you to do in production.
Evidence:
If you have any other doubt, feel free to put in and we can have a discussion.
He means this I believe
Repointing vCenter Server to another SSO Domain - VMware vSphere Blog
while I don't think it would cause any issue outside of having to read the vcenter user account, I can't speak to if its supported or not.
Yes. This article is useful but with horizon standpoint VDIs (except full clones) won't respond if it finds vcenter IP or hostname is changed. So we have to rebuild these VDIs.
The sso domain is different the the fqdn of the host though, that was the point I was trying to make. In 6.7 you can have external platform service controllers that handle the SSO domain, is the vsphere.local in sso administrator login(administrator@vsphere.local). You would point the vcenter server at these, so if you repoint the vcenter from a set of PSCs or to a new embedded psc in another vcenter. In this case all dns entries are all the same . Here is an article with an example
https://virtualtassie.com/2018/vcenter-6-7-cross-sso-domain-repointing/
the OP wants to repoint from company A to company B. In this case the vcenter fqdn and ip are staying the same, its just the vcenter specific user mangement that changes. administrator@companya.local is different the administrator@companyb.local.
This is of interest to me because I have a horizon pod in one sso domain and on in another that I need to repoint to the other one in the future.Basically I need to do exactly what the post is asking my self
Hi guys, sjesse is exactly as you described, i attach two image too get a better look of what i need, Now - is the image of what i have, Want - is want i want
The Horizon uses same active directory domain, the vcenters are diferent but beside in separate structures the sso domain fqdn is the same.
One more detail, PSCs are already embedded in vCenter appliance.
