SolutionHi Jacky5001,
- If the Current Simplivity version you are running is above 3.7.3 then you can run these commands yourself if below 3.7.3 then A support case will be required and an engineer will need to run these for you.
- Pointing the clusters to a new vCenter can be done with a 2 single command's (Steps 3&4) but will require a reboot of the OVC's which is initiated by the first update command.
- These commands need to be ran from every OVC in the federation.
- Downtime is not required as IP failover will migrate the running state of the VM's to the other node in the HA pair.
- Elevate permissions prior to running below commands.
- sudo su
- source /var/tmp/build/bin/appsetup
- Confirm all VM's are in HA sync prior to running commands to ensure IP failover will migrate running state.
- svt-vm-show (If all VM's are not in HA Sync then open support case for assistance)
- This command will initiate a reboot of OVC
- dsv-update-vcenter --server <IP of vCenter> --user <HMS User> --password <HMS Password>
HMS User = administrator@vsphere.local
- This command is non-intrusive and will only restart some of the authentication services.
- dsv-identitystore-init <HMS User> <Host IP> <Host User> <HMS Password> <Host Password>
HMS User = administrator@vsphere.local
Host IP = vmkernel management IP address of ESXi host housing specific OVC
тАЛтАЛтАЛтАЛтАЛтАЛтАЛHost User = Root
- Confirm federation is healthy after re-point.
- svt-federation-show
I would advise that you open a support case for assistance if you encounter any issues running these commands

Re: Can we manually add the host into the new vCenter if the previous vCenter was crash ?
Hi, i have OVC 4.0.0 and do all the steps that you write for add to a new VCSA 6.7 (last in the HP Support web). All the steps show correct result but i have some problems.
1┬║. When i write "svt-vm-show" or "svt-federation-show" i get "ERROR [47]: Missing session credentials."
2┬║. Working throught VCSA 6.7, the access that need to show esxi hosts, vms or datacenter is very very very slow. An example, when i need to move one vm to another esxi host, when i must select the new host, it's very very slow to show the two hosts that i have.
Before I execute the "dsv-update-center" i can navigate normally throught the vcsa but without the simplivity plug-in.
Thanks in advanced, i really need help.

To run the svt-federation-show and svt-vm-show, add the --emergency switch to the end, this will prompt a login of the svtcli account.
+ svt-federation-show --emergency
+ svt-vm-show --emergency
