Reconfiguring Data Director Networks 13
During installation, you set up the networks that carry the different types of Data Director network traffic. You
can reconfigure Data Director networks, for example, to improve throughput or provide better isolation for
certain types of traffic, using vSphere Client. You can reconfigure certain network adapter settings in Data
Director.
Data Director has the following types of network traffic.
n
Web Console Network
n
vCenter Network
n
DB Name Service Network
n
Internal Network
n
DB Access Network
After you change network configuration using vSphere Client, you can confirm the changes in the Data Director
Network Setup page. You might have to reenter your network settings after changing the mapping for the
Web Console network, Web Console network adapter, and vCenter network. You might have to do this if you
use static IP addressing. Network configuration information that you might have to reenter includes the
netmask, gateway, and DNS Server information.

Change the vCenter IP Address
At certain times in the vCenter Server lifecycle, administrators have to change the vCenter Server IP address.
If the IP address change is necessary, you must first power off the Data Director vApp. If you update the
vCenter Server IP address while Data Director is running, Data Director cannot communicate with the vCenter
Server system.
Because of an issue reported in the release notes, you must power off the Data Director vApp and also remove
the vCenter Extension service and add it back.
