vCenter Chargeback Manager IP Address Reset Utility
If vCenter Chargeback Manager is installed on a machine that does not have a static IP address and the IP
address changes dynamically, then the vCenter Chargeback Manager service might not function properly.
vCenter Chargeback Manager, therefore, provides a utility to reset the IP address in the database and the
relevant configuration files.
The IP reset utility is located in
Installation_Directory
\vCenter-CB-Tools\reset-IP\bin and the utility file
is UpdateCbmServer.bat.
This utility updates the IP address references for the vCenter Chargeback Manager database and the embedded
data collectors.

If the IP address of the machine on which vCenter Chargeback Manager is installed is changed, you must reset
the IP address for the vCenter Chargeback Manager in the database and other configuration files by running
the IP address reset utility.
