Below technical article show how you can check the PSCs partners replication status, when you have a distributed installation with external PSCs. Under normal circumstances when checking replication status to each of the PSCs, you should see that each partner should be zero (0) changes behind each partner. In our setup we have a distributed installation with two external PSCs, i.e. PSC01 and PSC02, so we shall run the command to each of the members to verify the replication status to each of the members. Each of the appliances runs VMware vCenter Server Appliance  6.5.0.5700 PSC01 1 - Connect through SSH to the appliance, and change to bash shell 2 - Run below command to check the replication status of partner, i.e. PSC02 $ /usr/lib/vmware-vmdir/bin/vdcrepadmin -f showpartnerstatus -h localhost -u administrator -w <password> at the password you should specify the password of the  administrator@vsphere.local 3 - Verify the partner is 0 changes behind. PSC02 1 - Connect through SSH to the appliance, and change to bash shell 2 - Run below command to check the replication status of partner, i.e. PSC02 $ /usr/lib/vmware-vmdir/bin/vdcrepadmin -f showpartnerstatus -h localhost -u administrator -w <password> at the password you should specify the password of the  administrator@vsphere.local 3 - Verify the partner is 0 changes behind.
