vCenter Essentials 7, update to 8 prechecks, get Warning: Duplicate service registrations
I am wanting to upgrade my vCenter Essentials 7 to 8. When I run the preupdate checks, I get a warning "Duplicate service registrations of the same type has been detected". I ran the lstool.py list command (article 2050273), but I dont see any duplicates. The output contains only 1 entry (ID values shortened):

I ran the lsdoctor's lscheck command and in the log was an entry:
ERROR generateReport: default-site\vcenterserver.mydomain.local (VC 7.0 or CGW) found Duplicates Found: Ignore if this is the PSC HA VIP. Otherwise, you must unregister the extra endpoints. I looked at the generated .json file, but I didnt see any duplicates.
Some other notes: My Updates page shows 3 entries: 7.0.3, 8.0.1 and 8.0.2. When I perform the prechecks against 7.0.3, I get no warnings. I actually updated to the 7.0.3 version via putty with no problem.
Any ideas on what to do to get rid of this warning?

What is MOBI? I found MOB, did you mean that?
Yes, I need to get vCenter to 8 to get my ESXi hosts to 8. I'm not rushed, but I bought the new version and would like to use it.

After reading your post, I looked at the output from the lsdoctor again. It started making sense, and only one duplicate was shown. I ran the lstool.py to unregister one of the duplicates and it seems to be working. Thank you for your help.
If you have a very simple environment with no vSAN,NSX,vDS - a new install is going to be quicker than dealing with past history
You’ll need to use MOBI to remove these registrations against vCenter Server these are triggered because seen as not compatible with 8.0
Do you need to upgrade to 8.x to upgrade hosts to 8.0
