Re: if vcenter is damage , but the simplivity node still live , and vcenter re install ,
Hi @A525-9410
Yes, this would not be a problem.
I would recommend creating a support case and one of our support engineers can advise/assist.
The process is relatively straight forward:
- Remove the node from the old vCenter
- Re-create your cluster/s in new vCenter
- Add node into the new vCenter/Cluster
- Re-point OVC's to new vCenter
How many nodes do you have?
You would need to move all nodes to the new vCemter
Thanks,
DeclanOR

Re: if vcenter is damage , but the simplivity node still live , and vcenter re install ,
Hi @A525-9410
Looks like the vpxa agent may not be started on the ESXi host.
Did you power down the host prior to removing from old VC? If so, it was not necessary, but if you did, possibly the vpxa service is not fully running yet, and you need to allow time for all services to be running fully.
If you didn't reboot the host, then check the status of the vpxa agent to confirm it's running.

Re: if vcenter is damage , but the simplivity node still live , and vcenter re install ,
Hi. Here´s the link to documentation which I used when moving from vCenter Server 5.5 Windows to VCSA 6.5.
Hope you find it useful!
