How to update TKGI compute profiles to reflect vCenter Datacenter name change

Issue/Introduction

This article outlines how to update TKGI clusters compute profiles after changing the vCenter Datacenter name.

Environment

TKGI on vSphere

Resolution

If a compute profile is in use by clusters, you would need to create a new compute profile with the new datacenter name and update cluster using that profile.

1. Rename the Datacenter name on vCenter.
2. Create a new Compute profile with the new datacenter name configured in your compute profile json file.
   

   tkgi create-compute-profile <new-profile-name>  <compute-profile-config-json-file>

3. Verify profile creation. 
   

   tkgi compute-profiles

4. Update TKGI cluster to use the new profile.
   

   tkgi update-cluster <cluster-name> --compute-profile <new-profile-name>

5. You now have a new cluster with the update datacenter name. Migrate all workloads from the old cluster to the new one.
