Hi all - I have inherited a VMware 5.5 platform, the vCenter services are across about 6 servers - all roles like SSO, Inventory etc are on individual servers. It's only a small environment and I feel this is a bit of an overkill and is costing more in Windows licenses etc.
I intend to rebuild the vcenter server to have all services on one server, this is how I intend to do it - can anyone see and gotchas?
stop all services on all servers
uninstall vCenter service & reboot
Install vCenter with all components on the original vcenter server box (so it will be the same IP & hostname)
Copy over the original SSL certs & change the unique ID to the original
Is that it?
