Re: vCenter upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5 and consolidation

Hi Rick,

While following steps you suggested, I took backup of SSO, stopped SSO service on SSOVM01.

Ran autorun.exe of vcenter 5.1 for SSO installation on my vcenter server "VCVM01" as per kb.vmware.com/kb/2034928.

SSO installed successfully.

I tried installing Inventory service on my vcenter server "VCVM01" but its failing with following error in ssoreg.log file :-

So it is still trying to look for SSL certificate from old SSO server "ssovm01" rather looking in new one "vcvm01"

Could you please help to resolve this?
