Update vCenter Server IP Address in vSphere Replication
Management Server
After you upgrade vCenter Server and the vSphere Replication appliance, if the vCenter Server certificate
or the IP address changed during the upgrade, you must perform additional steps.
To update the vCenter Server certificate, see vSphere Replication is Inaccessible After Changing vCenter
Server Certificate.
If vCenter Server uses a static IP address, it preserves the IP address by default after upgrade. If the
vCenter Server uses a DHCP address that changed during the upgrade, and the vSphere Replication
management server is configured to use the vCenter Server IP address and not FQDN, update the IP
address in the vSphere Replication management server.
Procedure
1 Upgrade vCenter Server to the new appliance.
2 Upgrade vSphere Replication.
3 Power off the vSphere Replication appliance and power it on to retrieve the OVF environment.
4 On the vSphere Replication VAMI Configuration tab, type the new IP address of the vCenter Server.
5 Click Save and Restart.
Update vSphere Replication By Using vSphere Update
Manager
You can update vSphere Replication from version 5.5.x to a later 5.5.x update release by using vSphere
Update Manager.
Update Manager 5.5.x contains the update information for vSphere Replication 5.5.x update releases.
Using Update Manager is the easiest way to update vSphere Replication, especially for large
environments that contain multiple vSphere Replication servers. You can update multiple
vSphere Replication servers at the same time.
Prerequisites
n
You installed vSphere Replication 5.5.x or upgraded vSphere Replication to version 5.5.x by using the
downloadable ISO file. If you are running an older version of vSphere Replication, you must upgrade
to version 5.5.x before you can use Update Manager to install a later 5.5.x update release.
n
You updated vCenter Server to the corresponding 5.5.x update release.
n
Verify that you installed Update Manager 5.5.x and installed the Update Manager client plug-in on the
vCenter Server instance that you use with vSphere Replication.
