vCenter 6.5 ELM Misbehaving

[barnette08]

I’m running through some testing around ELM and have deployed a test bed with 4 vCenters and 5 PSCs (PSCs in ring), and vCenter points to its own PSC in this deployment. 

The strange behavior is or is that if I login to VC01 I can see 01 and 02, if I login to 03 I can see 01-03, and if I login to 04 I can see all 4.

Thewe ar fresh deployments with no configuration other than the extra replication agreement between PSC05 and PSC01 to create the ring.  Any ideas what’s causing this?

Can you please show your topology with vdcrepadmin on the PSCs and vmafd-cli on the vCenters?

[barnette08]

So interestingly I shut everything down, booted all the PSCs, and then all the vCenters...now it’s acting fine.

Yeah, that was going to be my suggestion if your topology was correct. Most of the time the PSCs can stay up and you just have to either restart services on the vC or just reboot the node.
