We have the following

2 x external windows PSC in HA mode behind a f5 VIP with windows vcenters connecting to the vip

Does anyone have any info on how to move from a windows based external PSC to a appliance based PSC. We are currently at 6.0 u2 windows deployments and want to go to 6.5 PSC & vcenter Appliances. The vcenter i have covered

To Move windows based external PSC to an appliance based PSC you need to perform Migration using 6.5 Vcenter server Appliance iso and since your setup is HA setup it will require few additional Steps to be performed .

Complete Steps to perform the HA Migration is listed below:

  1. Migrate first sso nodes to 6.5 using Vcenter server Appliance iso.
  2. Change directory to "/usr/lib/vmware-sso/bin/"  to run command mentioned in step 3 and step 4.
  3. Run below command on SSO nodes to update SSO config on Migrated SSO node.
    1. python updateSSOConfig.py --lb-fqdn=SSOLB.vmware.local Where SSOLB.vmware.local is FQDN of Virtual IP configured in F5 for PSC HA
  4. Run below command to update Endpoints in upgraded SSO node :
    1. python UpdateLsEndpoint.py --lb-fqdn=SSOLB.vmware.local --user='Administrator@vsphere.local' --password='**********'  Where SSOLB.vmware.local is FQDN of Virtual IP configured in F5 for PSC HA , User is Administrator account user of PSC DC which for default configuration is Administrator@vsphere.local and password  is password for Administrator account user of PSC DC
  5. Migrate remaining SSO nodes to 6.5 and perform step 2-4 on all migrated nodes.
  6. At this point 6.0 VC must be working will migrated 6.5 PSC in HA mode. Try to login to NGC of VC and check
  7. Now Migrate all VC node to 6.5
