In this post we will discuss VMware core management infrastructure components. we going to Search
look at installing PSC first and then do some repointing.
Lab Setup:
Documents used:
For this objective we will need to have to configure the lab in a different way and if you use VMware
Workstation its very easy to configure, I installed one Windows 2012R2 as a PSC and clone it so I can use a
new vCenter server.
Installing PSC1:

Installing VC2:
Run the installer from the CD again and chooise the external deployment and click on vCenter Server
Provide the system DNS name (make sure to create the entries in the DNS before the install)
Provide the PSC name and the SSO password from the previous steps.
Accept the certificate from the PSC.
Accepts the next defaults screens.

Login to the new vCenter using the new SSO admin user, once login click on vCenter à
manageàSettingsàadvanced Setting and look up for SSO (see below pic).

You can use embedded configuration when you need simplicity, it’s easy to use deploy and maintain and for
most small organization its sufficient.

I found the information for this objective from the following VMware KB articles 2113917/2131191, and I will follow
the instruction only from the vCenter appliance.
Important Note: You will need to use vSphere 6 update1 for this process, in addition you can you can
decommission the Embedded Platform Services Controller on the vCenter Server and repoint the vCenter
Server to an External Platform Service Controller.

Replace the cmsso-util (you will need download the zip file from VMware KB2131191 make sure to backup
the original file (/bin/cmsso-util) and make it
Make sure the file is executable (use chmod +x)
Get the current site info using the following command: /usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vmafd-cli get-site-name
–server-name localhost
Get the current Domain info using the following command: /usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vmafd-cli get-
domain-name –server-name localhost
You can execute the info command also on the PSC to get the site and domain info.
Repoint vCenter the new PSC using the following command: /bin/cmsso-util repoint –repoint-psc
FQDN_of_PSC_New_Site
Run the command: /bin/cmsso-util move-services and specify the information requested
For this task I installed additional vCenter server appliance (VC3) with embedded PSC. This task will
demonstrate how to convert to an external PSC in the same domain
Prerequisite:
Login to the shell and verify all services are running using the following command: service-control –status –all
Mordi.
