3 Rejoin the vCenter Server system to the Linked Mode group.
Configure the URLs on a Linked Mode vCenter Server System
If you connect a vCenter Server system to a Linked Mode group and the vCenter Server system has a machine
name that does not match the domain name, several connectivity problems arise. Correct this situation by
changing the URLs.
If you do not update the URLs, remote instances of vCenter Server cannot reach the vCenter Server system,
because the default vCenter Server URL entries are no longer accurate. The vCenter Server installer configures
default URL entries as follows:
n
For the Virtualcenter.VimApiUrl key, the default value is http(s)://
Fully qualified domain name
(FQDN) of vCenter Server machine
/sdkvCenter Server.
n
For the Virtualcenter.VimWebServicesUrl key, the default value is https://
FQDN of vCenter Server
machine
:
installed-webservices-port
/vwsvCenter Server.
Procedure
1 Isolate the vCenter Server system from the Linked Mode group.
See “Isolate a vCenter Server Instance from a Linked Mode Group,” on page 54
2 Change the domain name or the machine name to make them match.
3 From the vSphere Client, connect directly to the vCenter Server instance on which you have changed the
domain or machine name.
4 Select Administration > vCenter Server Settings and click Advanced Settings.
5 For the Virtualcenter.VimApiUrl key, change the value to point to the location where the vSphere Client
and SDK clients can access the vCenter Server system.
For example: http(s)://
machine-name/IP address
:
vc-port
/sdk.
6 For the Virtualcenter.VimWebServicesUrl key, change the value to point to the location where vCenter
Server Webservices is installed.
For example: https://
machine-name/ip
:
webservices-port
/vws.
7 For the Virtualcenter.Instancename key, change the value so that the modified name appears in the
vCenter Server inventory view.
8 Rejoin the vCenter Server system to the Linked Mode group.
See “Join a Linked Mode Group After Installation,” on page 53.
The URLs are now correctly configured.
Monitor vCenter Server Services
When you are logged in to a vCenter Server system that is part of a connected group, you can monitor the
health of services running on each server in the group.
Procedure
