Thank you for the brilliant article, especially for this link https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2018/11/external-platform-services-controller-a-thing-of-the-past.html, we are on 6.5 and we are unable to deploy NSX as we cant turn on enhanced link mode on the Dell EMC VXRail embedded vcentre and external PSC.
I have an external psc, what should I provide for this "VMCA Name: the FQDN where is located your VMCA. Usually the vCSA FQDN" vcentre or psc?
Also do I need to do anything on the psc?
Thanks in advance.tag:vcloud-lab.com,2019-04-29:/entries/110507#comment_102282Comment by Kunal2019-04-29T22:15:40+05:302019-04-29T22:15:40+05:30Thank iChayan, for comment. Use and connect to your PSC to configure VMCA,
You will need to restart vcenter services in the last.tag:vcloud-lab.com,2019-05-08:/entries/110507#comment_102612Comment by ichayan2019-05-08T14:55:16+05:302019-05-08T14:55:16+05:30For anyone following this guide. Few Tips:
1. If it is a windows box run the command window as administrator so that you can see the errors.
If you have a two tier PKI structure like mine (RootCA and Intermediate CA) on the machine cert copy and paste the whole certs in the chain. Like this
−−−−−−BEGIN CERTIFICATE−−−−−−
*Device cert*
−−−−−−END CERTIFICATE−−−−−−
−−−−−−BEGIN CERTIFICATE−−−−−−
*Intermediate CA cert *
−−−−−−END CERTIFICATE−−−−−−−−
−−−−−−BEGIN CERTIFICATE−−−−−−
*Root CA cert *
−−−−−−END CERTIFICATE−−−−−−
and for the root certificate combine both intermediate and root certificate by copy paste.
−−−−−−BEGIN CERTIFICATE−−−−−−
*Intermediate CA cert *
−−−−−−END CERTIFICATE−−−−−−−−
−−−−−−BEGIN CERTIFICATE−−−−−−
*Root CA cert *
−−−−−−END CERTIFICATE−−−−−−tag:vcloud-lab.com,2020-04-16:/entries/110507#comment_157952Comment by tarek2020-04-16T03:59:55+05:302020-04-16T03:59:55+05:30Thanks a lot! works great with VCSA 6.7 U3. Really appreciated!.
