Hello
I have two vCenter Servers, Production and Recovery Site, both Windows boxes, apart of same SSO domain, in linked mode and both at the latest build of 5.5. I am trying to upgrade my recovery site first to 6.0U2 using the migration assistant to create an appliance. The upgrade is failing in the pre-upgrade checker with the below errors in the migration-assistant.log:
2016-11-02 13:16:27.406Z| migration-assistant-4191364| E: LaunchUpgradeRunnerCommon: Failed to run pre-upgrade phase: "C:\mig58D2.tmp\PFiles\VMware\CIS\python\python.exe" "C:\mig58D2.tmp\PFiles\VMware\CIS\cis_upgrade_runner\UpgradeRunner.py" --mode=requirements --configFile="C:\Users\MS_VCE~1\AppData\Local\Temp\UpgradeRunnerInput.json" --logDir="C:\Users\MS_VCE~1\AppData\Local\Temp\vcsMigration" --locale=en --outputFile="C:\Users\MS_VCE~1\AppData\Local\Temp\UpgradeRunnerPreupgradeOutput.json"

Error: Failed to discover a system name that is compatible with both your VMware vCenter Server certificate and your VMware Single Sign-On certificate that can be used to migrate to a VMware vCenter Server Appliance with an embedded Platform Services Controller.
2016-11-02 13:16:27.439Z| migration-assistant-4191364| I: ParsePreUpgradeOutput: Resolution: Regenerate your VMware vCenter Server SSL certificate and your VMware Single Sign-On SSL certificate to have a common system name that can be used to migrate your system to VMware vCenter Server Appliance with Platform Services Controller. DHCP IP Address cannot be used as a system name to migrate to a VMware vCenter Server Appliance.
So I have done my due diligence and replaced the certs on the vCenter (Embedded deployment with external/remote SQL DB) but I am still getting the same error. I can confirm the certificates have been regenerated and applied successfully. Also did a complete uninstall and re-install to no avail.
Thoughts?
