PNID change issue on 6.7 Update 3

-

As we know PNID change is supported on 6.7 U3 onwards, however while changing the hostname from VAMI, you may encounter errors “Failed to create replication placeholder” and “Network update failed” :


To fix the issue, we need to replace the pnid_utils.py file which is at /usr/lib/applmgmt/networking/py/vmware/appliance/networking/pnid/ location with attached one, restart Appliance mgmt. service and try changing PNID again.

In order to make the secure SSL we have to generate the CSR and get it signed by any third party SSL vendors or our own Microsoft CA.  I will be generating a CSR and getting signed by internal Microsoft CA .We can refer this below article from VMware as reference.  https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2046591?lang=en_us Steps:  1.The first step is to create a new private key from taking a SSH session to master node vROPS. openssl genrsa -out vrops.key 2048 2.
