1. 故障描述
vSphere Client 版本 7.0.2.00200
vCenter _MACHINE_CERT快到期了，通过web界面更新证书失败
第一步先这样，重新续订一下证书
续订发生错误
2. 解决办法
2.1. 前提工作
登陆ssh到vcenter，重新生成证书
先关掉HA，不然证书管理会报错。

Certificate Manager tool do not support vCenter HA systems
PSSSSSSSS:记得vCenter做备份，做快照
2.2. 生成计算机ssl证书
生成证书,选择第三个（PS，如果没有域名的，一定要写IP，不然很容易卡在85%,服务不能起来）

5. 报错
5.1. Error Failed to start vmon services.vmon-cli RC=1
When you go to read the "certificate-manager.log", you see an entry like this:
Error Failed to start vmon services.vmon-cli RC=1
After a lot of searching on the internet, I sum up with this good article which helps me to solve my problem. The procedure is very simple, you just need to change the file permission of /etc/vmware/.buildInfo from 640 back to 444, SSH to your vCenter Server with root user and type following commands:
shell
chmod 444 /etc/vmware/.buildInfo

5.2. 脚本执行之后卡在85%
这里大概率可能是证书里面的FQDN和主机不匹配，又或者是主机解析FQDN有问题。
