What to do next
If you configured vSphere Replication to accept only certificates that are signed by a trusted certificate
authority, after an upgrade you must reconnect the vSphere Replication appliances.
If your SRM 5.1.x infrastructure uses more than one vSphere Replication server, or if you are upgrading
from SRM 5.0.x, upgrade the vSphere Replication server appliances.
Upgrade vSphere Replication Servers by Using the VAMI
If your infrastructure uses more than one vSphere Replication server, you must upgrade all of the
vSphere Replication servers that you use with SRM.
If you are upgrading from vSphere Replication 1.0.x, the process to upgrade the vSphere Replication server
is a two-step process. To upgrade version 1.0.x of the vSphere Replication server, you first perform an
intermediate upgrade. From the intermediate upgrade version of the vSphere Replication server, you
upgrade to version 5.5 of the vSphere Replication server. Upgrading the vSphere Replication server from
version 5.1 is a one-step process.
Prerequisites
Verify that you upgraded the vSphere Replication management server from SRM 5.0.x or the
vSphere Replication appliance from SRM 5.1 to the vSphere Replication 5.5 appliance.
Procedure
1 In a Web browser, connect to the VAMI of the vSphere Replication server to upgrade.
The URL for the VAMI of the vSphere Replication server is https://vr-server-address:5480.
2 Type the root user name and password for the vSphere Replication server appliance.
3 Click the Update tab.
4 Click Check Updates.
By default, the VAMI shows the most recently available version. If you want to upgrade to an update
release of an older version when the next major release is already available, you must manually change
the upgrade URL:
a Click Settings.
b Select Use Specified Repository and paste the update URL into the Repository URL text box.
See the release notes of the update release for the exact URL.
c Click Save Settings.
d Click Status.
e Click Check Updates.
The update checker shows that a new version is available.
5 Click Install Updates and click OK.
n
If you are upgrading from vSphere Replication 5.1.x, this completes the upgrade of the
vSphere Replication server to version 5.5.
n
If you are upgrading from vSphere Replication 1.0.x, the upgrade of the vSphere Replication server
is not complete. The version of the vSphere Replication server after the initial upgrade is 1.0.999.
Click Check Updates and Install Updates again to complete the upgrade of the
vSphere Replication server to version 5.5.
6 After the upgrade finishes, click the System tab and click Reboot.
