Reconfiguring Data Director Networks 17
During installation, you set up the networks that carry the different types of Data Director network traffic.
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
You can reconfigure Data Director networks to improve throughput, for example, or provide better isolation
for certain types of traffic, or change network adapter configurations due to changes in your networking
environments. Depending on what network configuration you modify, you make the change through the
vSphere Client or in the Data Director Web Console, or both. This chapter provides detailed instructions to
make network configuration changes.

Change the vCenter IP Address
At certain times in the vCenter Server lifecycle, you might need to change the vCenter Server IP address. To
change the IP address, you 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.
Procedure
1 Log in to vSphere Client as an administrator.
