Option Action
Configure proxy server Click Proxy, select the Use a proxy server check box, and type the proxy server
address and port number.
Save Settings If you do not click Save Settings, changes are discarded.
Note After the IP address of the vSphere Replication server on the target site changes, you must
manually reconfigure replications on the source site to point to the new IP address.
6 (Optional) Select VRS > Configuration > Restart to restart the vSphere Replication service.
7 (Optional) Select System > Reboot to reboot the vSphere Replication server appliance.
Unregister and Remove a vSphere Replication Server
If you deployed additional vSphere Replication server instances that you no longer require, you must
unregister them from the vSphere Replication appliance before you delete them.
Prerequisites
You deployed and registered a vSphere Replication server that you no longer require. Make sure it does
not serve any replications, otherwise the operations will fail.
Procedure
1 In Configure > vSphere Replication, click Replication Servers and find the vSphere Replication
server in the list.
2 Select the server and click Unregister the selected vSphere Replication Server.
3 In the Hosts and Clusters view, power off and delete the vSphere Replication server virtual machine.
Disable the Embedded vSphere Replication Server
vSphere Replication includes an embedded vSphere Replication Server by default. If you want to disable
the embedded vSphere Replication server, you can do so using ssh.
Prerequisites
Make sure no replications are using the embedded server. Stop the replications or move them to a
different server.
Procedure
1 Use ssh into the vSphere Replication appliance and type:
# /opt/vmware/hms/bin/hms-configtool -cmd reconfig -property
hms-embedded-hbr=false
2 Restart the HMS service.
# service hms restart
