VMware windows external PSC repoint failing with cmsso cis.utils error

re-point from external HO-PSC02 windows (site:default-first-site) to another external HO-PSC01 (site: headoffice) is failing with error "import cis.utils line 49". I have followed KB 2131191, extracted cmsso-util, copied to vcenter server/bin folder and executed re-point command. FYI,


history:


1. vCenter HO connected moved from embedded to external PSC HO-PSC02 (default-first-site)

2. vCenter SS moved from embedded to external PSC SS-PSC01 (default-first-site).

3. No replication enabled when we move from embedded to external individually.

4. Deployed another PSC HO-PSC01 (headoffice) with replicatioi to SS-PSC01 (default-first-site)

5. Trying to move vCenter HO from HO-PSC02 to HO-PSC01 (between sites) and its giving error.

It looks like you are following the guide correctly: http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2015/10/reconfiguring-and-repointing-deployment-models-in-vcenter-se...

Are you running 6.0U1 everywhere? This is a pre-requisite for running these commands
