VCF Certificate Tool Navigator

Everything the VCF 9.1 Certificate Tool (vcf-cert-tool) can do, in one place: pick the symptom and get the recovery runbook with the exact keystroke path through the menus, the backups and checks to do first, what the tool restarts, and where the logs are. Or browse the complete menu tree of the five modules (vCert for vCenter and ESXi, CARR for NSX, the VCF Operations CASA actions, certmgr for the Supervisor, the Cloud Proxy module), the launch-host setup commands and the reference tables.

Break-glass tool. vcf-cert-tool orchestrates the native recovery scripts (vCert, CARR, CASA, certmgr) and is meant to be used at the direction of Broadcom Global Support. It does not replace Unified Certificate Management, does not update trust relationships in the rest of the VCF stack, and every replacement restarts services. Take offline snapshots first.
