In this article, we will try to repoint the vCenter from One PSC to another. In order to make this change please make sure that your vCenter and the PSC on which you want to point the vCenter are on the Same Site.

Once this is done you can follow the below steps:

Repoint a vCenter Server Appliance to another external Platform Service Controller in the Same Site

  • Log in to the vCenter Server Appliance Linux console as the root user.
  • Run this command:
 shell.set --enabled true 
  • Run the shell command.
  • Run this command to repoint the vCenter Server Appliance to Platform Services Controller (PSC) appliance:
cmsso-util repoint --repoint-psc PSC_Name_Where_you_want_to_Point 
  • Using the vSphere Web Client, log in to the vCenter Server instance in the vCenter Server Appliance to verify that the vCenter Server is up and running and manageable.

  • Run this command to change to vCenter Server and/or Platform Services Controller installation directory:
