Before installing vCenter Server, the Platform Services Controller endpoints must be updated to reflect the name of the load balancers virtual IP.
Prerequisites
Prior to completing this procedure, a DNS record must be created for the load balancer's virtual IP address and FQDN. This A record will temporarily be set to the IP address of the Management PSC (sfo01m01psc01.sfo01.rainpole.local) and will be adjusted to the proper address after the load balancer is completely configured.
Procedure
- Create a DNS record for the load balancer FQDN.
- Open a remote desktop connection to your DNS server.
- Create a DNS A record with the values shown in the following table.
