Hi,
I'm following VMware KB: Re-pointing and re-registering VMware vCenter Server 5.1 / 5.5 and components
I have tested this on vSphere 5.5 and works fine.
Now i testing version 5.1 which will be upgraded to vSphere 6. So i have created separate SSO server and i have moved vCenter 5.1 to this new SSO 5.1. Everything worked fine. vSphere client show the inventory.
I do have small problem with Web Client. Please see attached.
vcenter01.example.com - 5.1 version. Local SSO instance was already removed. vSphere Client logs in by using SSO vcenter6-sso.example.com
vcenter6.example.com - main vCenter5.1 with connected SSO vcenter6-sso.example.com
Result of ssolsclie listServices
