Reconfigure the
vSphere Replication Appliance 7
If necessary, you can reconfigure the vSphere Replication appliance settings by using the virtual
appliance management interface (VAMI).
You provide the settings for the vSphere Replication appliance in the Deploy OVF wizard when you
deploy the appliance. If you selected automatic configuration of the appliance using an embedded
database, you can use the vSphere Replication appliance immediately after deployment. If necessary you
can modify the configuration settings of the vSphere Replication appliance after you deploy it.
n
Reconfigure General vSphere Replication Settings
You can use vSphere Replication immediately after you deploy the vSphere Replication appliance. If
necessary, you can reconfigure the general settings after deployment in the virtual appliance
management interface (VAMI).
n
Change the SSL Certificate of the vSphere Replication Appliance
vSphere Replication appliance uses certificate-based authentication for all connections that it
establishes with vCenter Server and remote site vSphere Replication appliances.
n
Change the Password of the vSphere Replication Appliance
You set the password of the vSphere Replication appliance when you deploy the appliance. You can
change the password after installation by using the virtual appliance management interface (VAMI).
n
Change Keystore and Truststore Passwords of the vSphere Replication Appliance
To increase security, you can change the default passwords of the vSphere Replication appliance
keystore and truststore. If you copy the keystores from the appliance to another machine, VMware
recommends that you change the passwords before the copy operation.
n
Configure vSphere Replication Network Settings
You can review current network settings and change address and proxy settings for
vSphere Replication. You might make these changes to match network reconfigurations.
n
Configure vSphere Replication System Settings
You can view the vSphere Replication system settings to gather information about the
vSphere Replication appliance. You can also set the system time zone, and reboot or shut down the
appliance.
