Procedure
1 Right-click the vSphere Replication virtual machine and select Edit Settings.
2 If you are upgrading a vSphere Replication Server appliance, reconfigure the virtual machine to
increase its memory from 512 MB to 716 MB RAM.
3 On the Virtual Hardware tab, select CD/DVD Drive > Datastore ISO File.
4 Navigate to the ISO image in the datastore.
5 For File Type, select ISO Image and click OK.
6 Select the option to connect at power on and follow the prompts to add the CD/DVD drive to the
vSphere Replication virtual machine.
7 Power on the vSphere Replication virtual machine.
8 In a Web browser, log in to the virtual appliance management interface (VAMI).
The URL for the VAMI is https://vr_appliance_address:5480.
9 Click the Update tab.
10 Click Settings, select Use CDROM Updates, and click Save Settings.
11 Click Status and click Check Updates.
The appliance version appears in the list of available updates.
12 Click Install Updates and click OK.
13 After the updates install, click the System tab and click Reboot.
14 After the appliance reboots, start the console of the vSphere Replication virtual machine to monitor
the process.
The vSphere Replication appliance reboots two more times for the upgrade procedure to complete.
15 After the vSphere Replication appliance reboots, log in to the VAMI and repeat the steps to register
the vSphere Replication appliance with vCenter Single Sign-On.
This registers the vSphere Replication appliance in the Lookup Service and SSO or updates an
existing vSphere Replication registration.
16 Log out of the vSphere Web Client, clear the browser cache, and log in again to see the upgraded
appliance.
What to do next
Note If step 15 is not performed, the status of the vSphere Replication server will turn to Enabled
(Configuration issue). You must log in to the VAMI and register the vSphere Replication appliance
with the Lookup Service and SSO. See Register the vSphere Replication Appliance with vCenter Single
Sign-On.
