Introduction to the Update Manager
Utility 1
The Update Manager Utility is an optional tool for Update Manager that allows you to congure the
Update Manager server and UMDS after installation.
The Update Manager Utility allows you to recongure the following Update Manager seings without the
need to reinstall Update Manager and UMDS:
Proxy settings
When you install the Update Manager server or the UMDS, you specify the
proxy seings. If these seings change after installation, you must
recongure Update Manager or UMDS to use the newly congured proxy.
Database user name
and password
If the database user name and password change after you install the
Update Manager server or UMDS, you can recongure Update Manager and
UMDS without the need to reinstall them.
vCenter Server IP
address
When you install the Update Manager server, you register it with the
vCenter Server system with which Update Manager will work. Every time
the vCenter Server IP is requested, you must provide the IP of the
vCenter Server system with which Update Manager is registered. If the IP of
the vCenter Server system or Update Manager changes, you must be able to
re-register the Update Manager server with the vCenter Server system.
SSL certificate
You can replace the default Update Manager SSL certicates with either self-
signed certicates or certicates signed by a commercial Certicate
Authority (CA). You can replace only the SSL certicates that
Update Manager uses for communication between the Update Manager
server and client components. You cannot replace the SSL certicates that
Update Manager uses when you are importing oine bundles or upgrade
release les.
