If your infrastructure uses more than one vSphere Replication Server, you must upgrade all
vSphere Replication Server instances to version 6.5.
Important If the vSphere Replication appliance that you upgraded uses the embedded database, you
must apply additional configuration to enable the support of up to 2000 replications. See
http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2102463. No additional configuration is required for vSphere Replication
appliances that are configured to use an external database.
Update the vCenter Server IP Address in the
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 topic vSphere Replication is Inaccessible After Changing
vCenter Server Certificate of the Using vSphere Replication document.
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 Use a supported browser to log in to the vSphere Replication VAMI.
The URL for the VAMI is https://vr-appliance-address:5480.
5 On the Configuration tab, enter the new IP address of the vCenter Server.
6 Click Save and Restart.
