2 Verify that all Platform Services Controller services are running.
Option Steps
For a vCenter Server Appliance with an embedded
Platform Services Controller
Run the service-control --status --all
command.
For a Windows installation of vCenter Server with an
embedded Platform Services Controller
Select Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools >
Services.
The Platform Services Controller services that must be running are VMware License Service, VMware
Identity Management Service, VMware Security Token Service, VMware Certicate Service, and
VMware Directory Service.
3 If the vCenter Server with an embedded Platform Services Controller instance runs on Windows, open
the Windows command prompt and navigate to C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\bin.
4 Run the cmsso-util reconfigure command.
cmsso-util reconfigure --repoint-psc psc_fqdn_or_static_ip --username username --domain-name
domain_name --passwd password [--dc-port port_number]
where the square brackets [ ] enclose optional items.
Here, psc_fqdn_or_static_ip is the system name used to identify the external Platform Services Controller
instance. This system name must be an FQDN or a static IP address.
N The FQDN value is case-sensitive.
The options username and password are the administrator user name and password of the vCenter Single
Sign-On domain_name.
Use the --dc-port option if the external Platform Services Controller runs on a custom HTTPS port. The
default value of the HTTPS port is 443.
For example, if the external Platform Services Controller runs on a custom HTTPS port 449, you must
run:
cmsso-util reconfigure --repoint-psc psc.acme.local --username administrator --domain-name
vsphere.local --passwd Password1! --dc-port 449
5 Log in to the vCenter Server instance by using the vSphere Web Client to verify that the vCenter Server
is running and can be managed.
The vCenter Server with an embedded Platform Services Controller is demoted, and the vCenter Server is
redirected to the external Platform Services Controller.
What to do next
You can deploy or install additional vCenter Server and Platform Services Controller instances in the
vCenter Single Sign-On domain.
