Linking existing stand alone vCenter 6.7 appliances with embedded PSCs

I have 2 linked vcenters and 1 not linked.

I can't seem to find the process of linking the individual VC to the other VCs aside from during VC installation/deploymnet.

Surely there must be a simple way to do this?

Perhaps use the opposite of the old unregister command?

cmsso-util register --node-pnid Platform_Services_Controller_System_Name --username administrator@your_domain_name --passwdvCenter_Single_Sign_On_password

I was hoping to find a KB article but no luck.

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Please find the detailed steps to repoint the VCSA to another VCSA with PSC (in other words repointing to a different SSO domain.) in following article.

Perhaps SSO domain repoint?

cmsso-util domain-repoint -m pre-check --src-emb-admin Administrator --replication-partner-fqdn FQDN_of_destination_node --replication-partner-admin PSC_Admin_of_destination_node --dest-domain-name destination_PSC_domain

cmsso-util domain-repoint -m pre-check --src-emb-admin Administrator --replication-partner-fqdn FQDN_of_destination_node --replication-partner-admin PSC_Admin_of_destination_node --dest-domain-name destination_PSC_domain

This will do the pre-check, add execute instead of pre-check to run the process of repoint, make sure you take power off snapshots for all three vCenters.

Execute command should be like this,

cmsso-util domain-repoint -m execute --src-emb-admin Administrator --replication-partner-fqdn FQDN_of_destination_node --replication-partner-admin PSC_Admin_of_destination_node --dest-domain-name destination_PSC_domain

Have a look at below doc, for information on conflicting data,
