Procedure
1 Log in to the Site Recovery Manager Server host.
2 Open Programs and Features from the Windows Control Panel.
3 Select the entry for VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager and click Change.
4 Click Next.
5 Select Repair and click Next.
6 Click Install to repair the installation.
The installer makes any necessary repairs and restarts Site Recovery Manager Server.
Rename a Site Recovery Manager Site
After you have installed Site Recovery Manager, you can rename a site directly in the
Site Recovery Manager interface in the vSphere Web Client.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, click Site Recovery > Sites, and select a site.
2 Right-click the site and select Rename Site.
3 Enter a new name for the site and click OK.
Uninstall Site Recovery Manager
If you no longer require Site Recovery Manager, you must follow the correct procedure to cleanly uninstall
Site Recovery Manager.
Installing Site Recovery Manager, creating inventory mappings, protecting virtual machines by creating
protection groups, and creating and running recovery plans makes significant changes on both
Site Recovery Manager sites. Before you uninstall Site Recovery Manager, you must remove all
Site Recovery Manager configurations from both sites in the correct order. If you do not remove all
configurations before uninstalling Site Recovery Manager, some Site Recovery Manager components, such
as placeholder virtual machines, might remain in your infrastructure.
If you use Site Recovery Manager with vSphere Replication, you can continue to use vSphere Replication
after you uninstall Site Recovery Manager.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, click Site Recovery > Recovery Plans > Objects, highlight all recovery
plans, right-click and select Delete Recovery Plan.
You cannot delete recovery plans that are running.
2 Select Site Recovery > Protection Groups, select a protection group, and click Related Objects >
Virtual Machines.
3 Highlight all virtual machines, right-click, and select Remove Protection.
Removing protection from a virtual machine deletes the placeholder virtual machine from the recovery
site. Repeat this operation for all protection groups.
NOTE This step applies to array-based protection groups and to vSphere Replication protection groups.
You cannot remove protection from virtual machines in storage policy protection groups. Skip this step
for storage policy protection groups.
