Getting an error when unregistering a PSC.
Our environment has 4 sites running Linked-Mode. Each site has 3 guests.... 1 vCenter, 1 PSC and 1 SQL. Sites 2, 3 and 4 partner back to the PSC at site 1. We are shutting down site 2.
I'm following VMware KB 210736. I stopped the PSC service at site 2, then on that PSC ran cmsso-util to unregister the vCenter, which was successful. Then I went to the PSC at site 4 and ran cmsso-util to unregister the PSC at site 2, but received an error. A bit confusing..... displays error 1, but then shows Success.
Below is the cmsso-util output. I believe I need to run vdcleavefed -h -u -w to force a rip-out of the machine account, but need someone to verify if that is correct. If it is, where do I run vdcleavefed ? From the PSC at site 4 or on the PSC at site 2 (the one being removed) ? Thanks in advance for any help.
