Cause

SRM server is not having the new vCenter root certificates in its certificate store that either changed post replacing vCenter certificates or post PSC convergence.

Resolution

Please follow the instructions below to save certificates from vCenter Windows/Appliance & import into SRM appliance.

1. Right click on Download trusted root CA certificates & save it.

2. Extract the certs zip folder

3. You may be required to use Windows or Linux certificates depending on the host OS you are importing it to. For SRM appliance, we will be using linux certificates.

4. Using WinSCP copy the "lin" certificate folder to /home/admin/ directory in the SRM appliance. If you have 2 individual vCenters (note in linked mode), copy the contents of both the vCenters "lin" folder into a common folder before copying it to the appliance.

5. Login to SRM appliance as root and list the contents of /home/admin/

root@srmpr [ /home/admin ]# ls
lin

6. Copy all the files in folder ''lin" to /etc/ssl/certs/ directory by running the command -

root@srmpr [ /home/admin/lin ]# mv * /etc/ssl/certs/

7. To modify the certificates' permissions, run the following command - chmod a+r /etc/ssh/certs/*

8. Run - c_rehash

NOTE: c_rehash command does not exist in SRM 8.8 and higher versions. Please run '/usr/bin/rehash_ca_certificates.sh'

9. Reboot the appliance

10. Reconfigure the appliance

11. Reconnect site pair.

Workaround

c_rehash scans directories and calculates a hash value of each .pem, .crt, .cer, or .crl file in the specified directory list and creates symbolic links for each file, where the name of the link is the hash value.
