Pre-upgrade advisor warns about multiple "vsphereclient" registrations. Bad or ignore?

[jer0nim0]

Hello,

On vcenter server upgrade from 6.7u3 to 7.0u3, pre-upgrade advisor is warning about duplicate service registrations (type: vsphereclient).

"Duplicate service registrations of the same type has been detected. Ignore if this is the PSC HA VIP. Otherwise, you must unregister the duplicate service registrations."

It does not seem to be the documented case from KB81867 for example. Instead, there seem to be multiple "vsphereclient" services registered.

Do we ignore it or do we remove one of them? Which one?

Thanks.

I have reported this to support and (after stopping their attempts to do lengthy webexes and convincing them to read my problem description) they have suggested to remove the duplicate item not containing a "Node ID" property.

That seems to have worked fine.
