Purpose

This article provides information on the deprecation of the external Platform Services Controller in the future release.

For more information, see the VMware Blog External Platform Services Controller, A Thing of the Past.

Resolution

Starting with vSphere 6.7, VMware announced a simplified vCenter Single Sign-On domain architecture by enabling vCenter Enhanced Linked Mode support for vCenter Server Appliance installations with an embedded Platform Services Controller. You can use the vCenter Server converge utility to change the deployment topology from an external Platform Services Controller to an embedded Platform Services Controller with support for vCenter Enhanced Linked Mode. As of this release, the external Platform Services Controller architecture is deprecated and will not be available in future releases.

Workaround

To work around this issue, converge the external Platform Services Controller on vCenter Server 6.5.x/6.7.x with vCenter Server. For more information, see Reconfiguring vCenter Server with an External Platform Services Controller to a vCenter Server with an Embedded Platform Services Controller.

For vCenter Server 6.5, Converge needs to be performed using Converge Tool, Refer to https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2019/02/understanding-the-vcenter-server-converge-tool.html for more information about the Tool.

Note: If you have an external Platform Services Controller for vCenter Server 6.0, then first upgrade to vCenter Server 6.5 or 6.7 then use the converge utility convert the external Platform Services Controller node to an embedded Platform Services Controller node. For more information, see:
