Environment

VMware vCenter Server 7.x
VMware vCenter Server 8.x

Resolution

• Remove duplicate service registration.

  Please make sure that you take a snapshot of vCenter, if in linked mode then take offline snapshot of linked vCenters. 

       1. Identity the duplicate service registration using lstools.

           /usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/tools/lstool.py list --url  http://localhost:7090/lookupservice/sdk > lstools.txt

      2. Once you identify the duplicate service registration, run following cmd to un-register it. 
 
           /usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/tools/lstool.py unregister --url http://localhost:7090/lookupservice/sdk --id Service_ID from above --user '[email protected]' --password 'ExamplePassword' --no-check-cert

          EX: 

           /usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/tools/lstool.py unregister --url http://localhost:7090/lookupservice/sdk --id 4xxxxxxx-14xx-4xxx-adxx-4be10exxxxxx --user '[email protected]' --password 'ExamplePassword' --no-check-cert
