vCenter Server update failed

[kklinger1982]

Hi guys,

Unfortunately the Source Pre-Check fails for me when I want to perform an update.

The error message is "VMDir replication is not working correctly".

What happened?

- tried to add a vCenter Server 6.7 to the SSO domain
- failed (probably due to different versions. 6.7 vs. 8.0)
- but now the vCenter Server 6.7 is hanging around as a zombie replication partner on the vCenter Server 8.0
- tried to remove the vCenter Server 6.7 failed
- cmsso-util unregister as well as vdcrepadmin -f removeagreement have already been tried.

Does anyone else have ideas or suggestions on how I can remove the Zombie Server as a Replication Partner?

Viele Grüße/Kind regards,

Please check  vmdir state and service status

 /usr/lib/vmware-vmdir/bin/vdcadmintool

If it is in read only mode make it Normal

Hi,

vmdir state is already in state normal.

Kind regards,

Did you ever get this resolved?  We have been stuck on the same error for a while now and unable to proceed with update.  Tried cmsso-util unregister as well.
