Note – This will allow you to drain the upgraded 5.5 VC so it can be decommissioned.
Note- If you plan to “drain” and decommission the upgraded 6.0 VC, you will need to re-install the fresh 6.0 VC since it was joined the to decommed SSO domain.
As of May 2015, there is no way to dis-join the decommed SSO domain and join to another 6.0 SSO domain. You can not “promote” the fresh 6.0 VC as the primary SSO domain.
