Reconfigure the
Site Recovery Manager Appliance

You reconfigure the
Site Recovery Manager
virtual appliance settings by using the
Site Recovery Manager
Virtual Appliance Management Interface.
Deploying the
Site Recovery Manager Server
binds the instance to a number of values that you supply, including the
vCenter Server
instance to extend, DSN and credentials, the certificate, and so on. You can change some of the values from the
Site Recovery Manager
Virtual Appliance Management Interface.
  1. Log in to the
    Site Recovery Manager Appliance
    Management Interface as admin.
  2. Click
    Summary
    , and click
    Reconfigure
    .
  3. On the
    Platform Services Controller
    page, enter the information about the site where you deployed the
    Site Recovery Manager Appliance
    .
    Menu Item
    Description
    PSC host name
    Enter the host name (in lowercase letters) or IP address of the
    vCenter Server
    with which to register
    Site Recovery Manager
    .
    PSC port
    Accept the default value of
    443
    , or enter a new value if
    vCenter Server
    uses a different port.
    vCenter Server
    only supports connections over HTTPS.
    User name
    Enter the
    vCenter Single Sign-On
    user name for the
    vCenter Single Sign-On
    domain to which this
    vCenter Server
    instance belongs. This user account must be a member of the
    vCenter Single Sign-On
    administrator group on the
    vCenter Server
    instance.
    Password
    The password for the specified
    vCenter Single Sign-On
    user name.
  4. If prompted, click
    Connect
    to verify the
    vCenter Server
    certificate.
  5. On the
    vCenter Server
    page, click
    Next
    .
    After the initial configuration of the
    Site Recovery Manager Appliance
    , you cannot select a different
    vCenter Server
    instance.
  6. On the
    Name and Extension
    page, enter the site name, administrator email address, and local host IP address or name, to register the
    Site Recovery Manager
    with
    vCenter Server
    .
    Menu Item
    Description
    Site name
    A name for this
    Site Recovery Manager
    site, which appears in the
    Site Recovery Manager
    interface. The
    vCenter Server
    address is used by default. Use a different name for each
    Site Recovery Manager
    instance in the pair.
    Administrator email
    The email address of the
    Site Recovery Manager
    administrator. This information is required even though you use the standard
    vCenter Server
    alarms to configure email notifications for
    Site Recovery Manager
    events.
    Local host
    The name or IP address of the local host. Only change the value if the IP address is not the one that you want to use. For example, the local host might have more than one network interface, and the one that the
    Site Recovery Manager Appliance
    detects is not the interface that you want to use.
    To facilitate IP address changes in your infrastructure, provide a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) whenever possible, rather than an IP address.
  7. On the
    Ready to Complete
    page, review your settings and click
    Finish
    .
  8. To configure the
    Site Recovery Manager Appliance
    on the other site, repeat the procedure.
When the modification operation is finished and the
Site Recovery Manager Server
restarts, log in to the
vSphere Client
to check the connection between the sites. If the connection is broken, or if you changed the
vCenter Server
address, reconfigure the site pairing. For instructions about how to reconfigure the site pairing, see Reconfigure the Connection Between Sites.
