Repoint a Single vCenter Server Node to an Existing Domain without
a Replication Partner
You can repoint a single vCenter Server from one Single Sign-On domain to an existing Single
Sign-On domain without a replication partner. Each Single Sign-On domain contains a single
vCenter Server.
See Figure 5-1. Repointing a Single vCenter Server from One Domain to an Existing Domain for an
example of repointing a single vCenter Server from one domain to another existing domain. This is
one of many ways to create an Enhanced Linked Mode node. In this case, there is no replication.

Prerequisites
n Repointing is only supported with vCenter Server 6.7 Update 1 and later.
n You must repoint to a vCenter Server that is of the same version.
n To ensure no loss of data, take a file-based backup of each node before proceeding with
repointing the vCenter Server.
Procedure
1 Make sure that both vCenter Server nodes are powered on before beginning the repointing
process.
