Before you configure the NSX Global Manager from the original protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance as Standby to provide high availability, you must obtain the certificate thumbprint for the virtual IP of the NSX Global Manager cluster in the original protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management domain vCenter Server in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance <recovery_vcenter_server_fqdn>:22 by using a Secure Shell (SSH) client.
  2. To switch to the bash shell, run the shell command.
  3. To retrieve the SHA-256 thumbprint of the NSX Global Manager certificate, run the command.
    echo -n | openssl s_client -connect <original_protected_NSX_Global_Manager_FQDN>:443 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint -sha256
  4. Save the fingerprint to later add the NSX Global Manager from the original protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance as standby for the NSX Global Manager cluster in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance.
