Hi folks,
I've started today the migration of our 5.5 into 6.0. During pre-checks, an SSL issue came out
"Error: vCenter CA certificate not verified. Stopping...."
I've googled and find out that SSL have to be renewed.
I've followed that guide : https://anthonyspiteri.net/upgrading-windows-vcenter-5-5-to-6-0-in-place-issues-and-fixes/
which then lead to : VMware Knowledge Base and https://anthonyspiteri.net/dealing-with-a-revoked-vcenter-ssl-certificate/
New SSL were created, vxpd -p has been used in order to generate a new password and services were restarted.
I've used the VmWare Certificate automation tool and here starts the mess.
Right after using 5, 2 options, I'm entering all the requested credentials, and it fails with the error :
[27/02/2018 - 14:55:44.94]: Validating the configuration and state of vCenter Server
---------- C:\PROGRAMDATA\VMWARE\VMWARE VIRTUALCENTER\VPXD.CFG
[27/02/2018 - 14:55:45.01]: Validating the input parameters...
STATE : 4 RUNNING
HTTPError: Unable to open or read page.
HTTP Error 401: basic auth failed
[27/02/2018 - 14:56:10.56]: "Cannot log in to vCenter."
[27/02/2018 - 14:56:10.56]: The vCenter certificate update failed.
Current status:
- I cannot logon on vSphere.
- VmWare VirtualCenter Server service starts
- VmWare VirtualCenter Management WebServices service keeps on crashing after a few seconds.
- I'm notable to login with all accounts I've got on https://localhost/mob/?moid=vpxd-securitymanager&method=reloadSslCertificate&vmodl=1
What would you recommend to do in order to quickly fix this? Reinstall vSphere 5.5 first?
Please share your thoughts.
Regards,
