Yes know I'm late and vCenter 5.5 is no longer supported but I have an urgent need to get my server up.
I performed a replacement of our vCenter 5.0 server by creating a new VM and installing 5.5 on it.. Didnt use the vCSA b/c i wasnt sure if our current license could be applied.
The installation went successfully. I renamed the old server and gave the new server the same name and IP as the old vCenter server.
When logging into vSphere Web Client on the new server, with the administrator account it does not log me in. Is it because i renamed the server?
I get an log in error message makes reference to the original name of the new server and not the new name that I gave it.
The message is “Failed to connect to VMware Lookup Service - https://WIN-016HDKTJ2I8:7444/lookupservice/sdk”
I hope you can advise on a remedy.
