Configure the vCenter Host Gateway Appliance
After you deploy the vCenter Host Gateway appliance, you can change the conguration seings by using
the Web conguration UI of the appliance.
n
Restart the vCenter Host Gateway Service on page 72
You can restart the vCenter Host Gateway service by using the vCenter Host Gateway appliance. If the
host name or the certicate of vCenter Host Gateway changes, you must restart the service.
n
Synchronize the Time Seings of the vCenter Host Gateway Appliance on page 72
You can change the time synchronization of the vCenter Host Gateway appliance after the
deployment. Synchronization is required when the NTP servers change to ensure the successful
registration with the Platform Services Controller.
n
Change Network Seings of the vCenter Host Gateway Appliance on page 73
You can change the network conguration of the vCenter Host Gateway appliance when, for example,
your network connection changes.
n
Congure Proxy Seings on page 73
If you connect through a corporate rewall, you can congure the vCenter Host Gateway proxy
seings.
n
Manage the Registration of the vCenter Host Gateway Service on page 74
You can unregister the vCenter Host Gateway service from the Platform Services Controller, and
change the registration seings.
n
Change the Administrator Password of the vCenter Host Gateway Appliance on page 74
You can change the password of the vCenter Host Gateway after you deploy the appliance.
n
