You can use the API to converge a vCenter Server Appliance with an external Platform Services Controller to a vCenter Server Appliance with an embedded Platform Services Controller.

Prerequisites
■

Create backups of the vCenter Server Appliance and external Platform Services Controller instances so that you can restore them if the reconfiguration fails. See Backing up the vCenter Server Appliance for information on backing up the vCenter Server Appliance.

■

Disable and remove vCenter HA before starting the process. Converging with vCenter HA configurations is not supported. Remove any vCenter HA configurations before starting the converge process. After converging, enable vCenter HA configurations in the embedded node.

Procedure
1

Provide authentication details for the Platform Services Controller.

2

Establish a session.

3

Run the converge operation.

What to do next

Decommission the Platform Services Controller. See Decommission the External Platform Services Controller Node.
