8 SEP 2020 | Added the requirement that, when you converge a vCenter Server with an external Platform Services Controller to a vCenter Server with an embedded Platform Services Controller, you must refresh the certificates for the ESXi hosts in your environment. Failing to do this results in connection errors when other products attempt to connect to vCenter Server. See Converge to an Embedded Platform Services Controller Node Using the vSphere Client and Converge vCenter Server with an External Platform Services Controller to a vCenter Server with an Embedded Platform Services Controller. |
10 AUG 2020 | At VMware, we value inclusion. To foster this principle within our customer, partner, and internal community, we are replacing some of the terminology in our content. We have updated this guide to remove instances of non-inclusive language. |

See Prerequisites for Deploying the vCenter Server Appliance or Platform Services Controller Appliance. |
