  • 1.  Download old OVF vcenter 5.5

    Posted Nov 26, 2024 11:09 AM

    Hello,

    I am performing the migration of an old VmWare 5.5 installation, and the vCenter 5.5 appliance is encountering a certificate issue. To quickly resolve the problem, could you please provide a link to download the OVF format image of vCenter?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    you can't download a vCenter OVF because there isn't vCenter in OVF format, but you can download vCenter ISO from  broadcom support portal (https://support.broadcom.com)... you must be registered on broadcom.

    If you search there you'll find the 5.5 version of all.

    Then you must backup you "old" vCenter via VAMI and then you can mount the ISO on PC and perform a restore from backup on another infrastructure.

    Bye

    Thank you for your response.

    Before posting, I spent quite a bit of time on the support.broadcom site, logged in with my account, without being able to find how to download the necessary files to reinstall vCenter. And this morning, it took me 30 seconds to find it...
