6 On the IaaS server, change the host name, but do not restart when prompted.
Look for the host name in the Windows system properties, under the computer name, domain, and
workgroup settings.
When prompted to restart, click the option to restart later.
7 If you used the old host name to generate certificates, update certificates.
For information about updating certificates, see Managing vRealize Automation.
8 Use a text editor to locate and update the host name inside configuration files.
Make the updates based on which IaaS server host name you changed. In a distributed HA
deployment, you might need to access more than one server. There are no updates if you change the
host name of a DEM Orchestrator or DEM Worker.
Note Only update the old Windows server host name. If you find a load balancer name instead,
keep the load balancer name.
