6.7

The vCenter Server instance is registered with the new Platform Services Controller.
What to do next
If you repointed a vCenter Server Appliance that was configured in a vCenter HA cluster, you can
reconfigure the vCenter HA cluster. For information about configuring vCenter HA, see vSphere
Availability.
Repoint vCenter Server to External Platform Services
Controller in a Dierent Domain
You can move one vCenter Server to a Platform Services Controller in another vSphere domain. You can
also move all vCenter Servers in one vSphere domain one at a time to another domain, which provides a
way to perform domain consolidation. Services such as tagging, and licensing, are migrated to the new
Platform Services Controller.
In addition to consolidating vSphere domains, you can also split an existing domain. The following use
cases are supported:
n
You can move one or more vCenter Server instances that point to separate external
Platform Services Controller to point to a new Platform Services Controller in a different domain.
n
You can move one or more vCenter Server instances that point to one external
Platform Services Controller to point to different Platform Services Controller in a different domain.
n
You can move a vCenter Server that is part of an embedded Platform Services Controller to an
external Platform Services Controller in a different domain. You must first reconfigure the node to an
external Platform Services Controller node before repointing to a Platform Services Controller in a
different domain.
Prerequisites
n
Cross domain repointing is only supported with Platform Services Controller 6.7 and vCenter Server
6.7.
n
Each vCenter Server and vCenter Server node must be in a healthy state.
n
To ensure no loss of data, take a snapshot or backup each node before proceeding with repointing
the vCenter Server or Platform Services Controller.
