HI,
I had a Vcenter server named virtualcenter.domain.com (192.168.1.10) with Vcenter 5.1 (With SSO, Inventory, Webclient) on a windows 2008 R2 with a MSSQL2012 db.
I tried to update from 5.1 to 5.5u1 and it failed, Vcenter & Webclient installers were crashing before finishing update
So I decided to make a clone of my Vcenter and have my production still working while I was trying to update.
my clone was virtualcenter2.domain.com with a new IP 192.168.1.12
I uninstalled everything, for the webclient I had to cleanup files and registery entries manually since it didn't want to find the uninstall program when I was clicking uninstall.
Then the installation went well, everything except the webclient is working fine
When trying to log in on the new vcenter : https://virtualcenter2.domain.com:9443/vsphere-client/ I got :
Failed to connect to VMware Lookup Service https://virtualcenter.domain.com:7444/lookupservice/sdk - SSL certificate verification failed.
Why the error message is with the old DNS name ?
And why during install the webclient is connecting to the lookup service perfectly and then it's not working ?
