Environment

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

Resolution

Remove duplicate service registration using the below instructions,

1.   Please make sure that you take a snapshot of vCenter, if in linked mode then take offline snapshot of linked vCenters.
2.   Identity the duplicate service registration using lstool.
   
   /usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/tools/lstool.py list --url  http://localhost:7090/lookupservice/sdk > lstools.txt
   
   
3.  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

/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

Similar issue for vCenter 8.x due to missing permission: "Plug-in configuration with Reverse Proxy failed"
