n
Update the NTP Server Configuration
Change the NTP server configuration of your vSphere Replication server if you change the NTP
servers that your vSphere Replication server uses.
n
Reconfigure vSphere Replication to Use an External Database
The vSphere Replication appliance contains an embedded vPostgreSQL database that you can use
immediately after you deploy the appliance, without any additional database configuration. If
necessary, you can reconfigure vSphere Replication to use an external database.
n
Use the Embedded vSphere Replication Database
If you configured vSphere Replication to use an external database, you can reconfigure
vSphere Replication to use the embedded database.
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).
The general settings of the vSphere Replication appliance include the name and IP address of the
vSphere Replication appliance, the address and port of the vCenter Server instance to which it connects,
and an administrator email address. You can change the general settings from the default values in the
virtual appliance management interface (VAMI).
For example, you can reconfigure the address of the vSphere Replication appliance if you did not specify
a fixed IP address when you deployed the appliance, and DHCP changes the address after deployment.
Similarly, you can update the address of the vCenter Server instance if the address changes after
deployment.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the vSphere Replication appliance is powered on.
n
Verify that you have administrator privileges to configure the vSphere Replication appliance.
n
Update the vCenter Server to 6.5.
Procedure
1 Use a supported browser to log in to the vSphere Replication VAMI.
The URL for the VAMI is https://vr-appliance-address:5480.
2 Review and confirm the browser security exception, if applicable, to proceed to the login page.
3 Type the root user name and password for the appliance.
You configured the root password during the OVF deployment of the vSphere Replication appliance.
4 On the VR tab, click Configuration.
5 Type the address of the vSphere Replication appliance or click Browse to select an IP address from
a list.
