Hello All
I'm moving from vCenter 6.5 Update 1g with external PSC >> 6.7 Update 1 and converging the PSC into vCenter.
Steps I've followed:
1. Upgrade PSC 6.5u1g >> PSC 6.7u1 [success]
2. Upgrade vCenter (Appliance) 6.5u1g >> vCenter (Appliance) 6.7u1 [success]
3. Converge PSC to vCenter: vcsa-util.exe converge --log-dir d:\logs --verbose --no-ssl-certificate-verification --backup-taken converge.json [success]
4. Decommission External PSC: vcsa-util.exe decommission --log-dir d:\logs --verbose --no-ssl-certificate-verification decommission_psc.json [FAIL]
I've tested both converge.json and decommission_psc.json in our DEV environment and the decom went through with no errors. The pre-prod decommission got a long way through the process including shutting down the PSC. If you log into the vCenter Administration / System Configuration, you can see only the vCenter with embedded PSC.
As this is fairly new, I can't find much PSC decom failures on Google / VM community.
IS THIS ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT - DO I NEED TO RE-RUN THE DECOM???
This is the output from the logs showing the failure:
