What to do next
If you configured vSphere Replication to accept only certificates that are signed by a trusted certificate
authority, after an update you must reconnect the vSphere Replication appliances.
If your infrastructure uses more than one vSphere Replication server, update the vSphere Replication
server appliances.
Update vSphere Replication Servers by Using the VAMI
If your infrastructure uses more than one vSphere Replication server, you must update all of the
vSphere Replication servers to the same update release version as the vSphere Replication appliance.
Prerequisites
n
You installed vSphere Replication 5.5.x or upgraded vSphere Replication and the additional
vSphere Replication servers to version 5.5.x by using the downloadable ISO file. If you are running an
older version of vSphere Replication, you must upgrade the vSphere Replication appliance and the
additional vSphere Replication servers to version 5.5.x before you can update to a later 5.5.x update
release.
n
You updated vCenter Server to the corresponding 5.5.x update release.
Procedure
1 In a Web browser, connect to the VAMI of the vSphere Replication server to update.
The URL for the VAMI of the vSphere Replication server is https://vr-server-address:5480.
2 Type the root user name and password for the vSphere Replication server appliance.
3 Click the Update tab.
4 Click Check Updates.
By default, the VAMI shows the most recently available version. If you want to update to an older
update release when the next update release is already available, you must manually change the
update URL:
a Click Settings.
b Select Use Specified Repository and paste the update URL into the Repository URL text box.
See the release notes of the update release for the exact URL.
c Click Save Settings.
d Click Status.
e Click Check Updates.
The update checker shows that a new version is available.
5 Click Install Updates and click OK.
