I've inherited an old vCenter Server 5.5 deployment with three vCenters - let's call them vCenterA, B & C - at three different cities. These are physical servers running Windows Server 2012 R2.
The datacenter where vCenterA is located was recently decommissioned. However, due to poor organization/communication, that server was simply shut down and moved out to cold storage, rather than properly decommissioned and removed from the SSO domain, etc. As a result, the following error now appears in the web client when logging in to either vCenterB or vCenterC:
Could not connect to one or more vCenter Server systems:
So, how can I remove this vCenter from the SSO domain?
All the info I've found regarding this involves removing a server that you can still access. I haven't been able to find anything for this scenario, where the server is gone and no longer accessible. (At least, nothing for a Windows-based, vCenter 5.5 deployment, anyway.)
