Issue: Joining 2 vCenter Servers

prasads — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:18:30 GMT

Hi,

I have installed vCenter Server 4.0 successfully on one Windows 2008 host.

Now I'm in the process of installing second instance of vCenter on another Windows 2003 host.

I see there is some option to join the 2 vCenter servers.

But it doesn't seem to work for me. Also the error message thrown(see attached image) doesn't seem right to me.

It just says, it cannot resolve the FQDN. But "ping FQDN" works fine & returns the correct IP address too.

Anybody else seen this? What more should I check?

Regards,

Prasad S
