Issue/Introduction

Customer needs to change the compute manager's FQDN

Environment

VMware NSX

Resolution

When there is a need to change the FQDN of NSX Compute manager (vCenter), please follow the below process:

Open a Service request with the Broadcom vCenter team and/or the NSX team should any issues arise outside of the designated steps. 

"Changing a vCenter Server’s FQDN can have a large impact on other services & settings if all steps are not followed. This goes for both Prerequisites and Next Steps (after changes are complete). Proper planning is key for any type of change, the same holds true for Hostname/FQDN changes to vCenter Server. Be sure to have validated backups of the vCenter Server (File-based or Image-level backups are both supported). Also, keep track of all 2nd or 3rd party tools that communicate with vCenter Server so they can be reconfigured after."
