16 Start vRealize Automation services on IaaS servers.
17 Log in as root to the vRealize Automation appliance management interface.
https://vrealize-automation-appliance-FQDN:5480
18 Verify vRealize Automation appliance status in the following areas.
n
Database connection status under vRA Settings > Database
n
RabbitMQ status under vRA Settings > Messaging
n
Xenon status under vRA Settings > Xenon
n
All services as REGISTERED under Services
Change an IaaS Server IP Address
When maintaining an environment or network, you might need to assign a different IP address to an
existing vRealize Automation IaaS Windows server.
Prerequisites
n
If the vRealize Automation appliance IP address needs to change, do that first. See Change the
vRealize Automation Appliance IP Address.
n
As a precaution, take snapshots of vRealize Automation appliances and IaaS servers.
n
From a console session as root on the vRealize Automation appliance, inspect entries in
the /etc/hosts file.
Look for address assignments that might conflict with the new IP address plan, and make changes as
needed.
On all IaaS servers, repeat the process for the Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.
n
Shut down the vRealize Automation appliance.
n
Stop all vRealize Automation services on IaaS servers.
Procedure
1 Log in to the IaaS server with an account that has administrator rights.
2 In Windows, change the IP address.
Look for the IP address in the Windows network adapter settings, under Internet Protocol properties.
3 Refresh your local DNS with the changes.
Refreshing DNS ensures that the IaaS Windows servers can find each other and that you can
reconnect to a Windows server if you are disconnected.
4 On the Manager Service host, inspect the following file in a text editor.
