This is a known issue affecting vSphere 6.0. For more information, see VMware vSphere 6.0 Release Notes.
To resolve this issue, remove the duplicate registered vCenter Server instance.
- Log in to the server with the Platform Services Controller installed.
- Open a Windows Command Prompt as administrator.
- Create a text file with a list of the services registered within the Platform Services Controller by running this command:
"%VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN%\python.exe" "%VMWARE_CIS_HOME%\VMware Identity Services\lstool\scripts\lstool.py" list --url http://localhost:7080/lookupservice/sdk --type vcenterserver > c:\psc_services.txt
- Open the generated text file which has list of services registered to the Platform Services Controller. Identify the duplicate service ID
- Run this command to unregister the duplicate service endpoint:
"%VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN%\python.exe" "%VMWARE_CIS_HOME%\VMware Identity Services\lstool\scripts\lstool.py" unregister --url http://localhost:7080/lookupservice/sdk --id Service_ID --user "[email protected]" --password "Enter_administrator_password" --no-check-cert
Where Service_ID is the Service ID noted in Step 4.
For example, "<C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\python\python.exe>" "<C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\VMware Identity Services\lstool\scripts\lstool.py>" unregister --url http://localhost:7080/lookupservice/sdk --id default-first-site:8c2afc59-43b1-46f9-8507-bc14f8bc0374 --user "[email protected]" --password "password" --no-check-cert
