Argument Description
-dvf, --dest-vc-fqdn The FQDN of the vCenter Server pointing to a destination
vCenter Server. The vCenter Server is used to check for
component data conflicts in the pre-check mode. If not
provided, conflict checks are skipped and the default
resolution (COPY) is applied for any conflicts found during
the import process.
Note This argument is optional only if the destination
domain does not have a vCenter Server. If a vCenter
Server exists in the destination domain, this argument is
mandatory.
-sea, --src-emb-admin Administrator for the vCenter Server with embedded
vCenter Server. Do not append @domain to the
administrator id.
-rpf, --replication-partner-fqdn (Optional) The FQDN of the replication partner node to
which the vCenter Server is replicated.
-rpr, --replication-partner-rhttps (Optional) The HTTPS port for the replication node. If not
set, the default is 443.
-rpa, --replication-partner-admin (Optional) SSO administrator user name of the replication
partner vCenter Server.
-dvr, --dest-vc-rhttps (Optional) The HTTPS port for the vCenter Server pointing
to the destination vCenter Server. If not set, the default
443 is used.
--ignore-snapshot
(Optional) Ignore snapshot warnings.
--no-check-certs
(Optional) Ignore certification validations.
--debug
(Optional) Retrieves command execution detail.
-h, --help (Optional) Displays the help message for the cmsso-util
domain repoint command.
Understanding Tagging and Authorization Conflicts
When you run the domain repoint command in pre-check mode, data from the vCenter Server is
exported, examined, and conflicts are written to a file.
The following data is exported to the /storage/domain-data/ or ProgramData/VMWare/
vCenterServerdata/domain-data folder:
n All_Privileges.json
n All_Roles.json
n All_TagCategories.json
n All_Tags.json
