Modify a Site Recovery Manager Server Installation
To change some of the information that you supplied when you installed Site Recovery Manager Server, you
can run the Site Recovery Manager installer in modify mode.
Installing Site Recovery Manager Server binds the installation to a number of values that you supply,
including the vCenter Server instance to extend, the Site Recovery Manager database type, DSN and
credentials, the certificate, and so on. The Site Recovery Manager installer provides a modify mode that
allows you to change some of the values that you configured when you installed
Site Recovery Manager Server:
n
The Platform Services Controller address, if the vCenter Server instance that Site Recovery Manager
extends moves to a different Platform Services Controller
n
The vCenter Single Sign-On user name and password, if they changed since you installed
Site Recovery Manager
n
The information with which you register Site Recovery Manager with vCenter Server
n
Upload or generate a new certificate
n
The user name, password, and connection numbers for the Site Recovery Manager database
n
The user account under which the Site Recovery Manager Server service runs
NOTE If you change the certificate that vCenter Server or Platform Services Controller uses, you must run
the Site Recovery Manager installer in modify mode. Running the Site Recovery Manager installer in modify
mode updates the Site Recovery Manager certificate thumbprints to reflect the new vCenter Server or
Platform Services Controller certificate.
