Add a vCenter Server Root CA Certificate in App Volumes Manager

To ensure that App Volumes Manager continues to trust the vCenter Server and remains connected even when the certificate gets renewed after the vCenter Server upgrade, you can add a root CA certificate that is used to sign your vCenter Server certificates in App Volumes Manager.

Prerequisites

• Ensure that you have installed the required version of App Volumes Manager.
• Download the trusted root CA certificate of the vCenter Server.
  • Convert the downloaded root CA certificate to cacert.pem file.

Procedure

1. On the Machine Managers page, select vCenter in the Type field.
2. Enter the credentials.
   The credentials must have appropriate permissions that allows the administrator to add the root CA certificate to App Volumes Manager.
3. Copy the cacert.pem to C:\Program Files (x86)\CloudVolumes\Manager\config where the App Volumes Manager is installed.
   By default, App Volumes Manager is installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\CloudVolumes\Manager\.
4. Restart the App Volumes Manager service.

Results

Adding the root CA certificate ensures that during the next vCenter Server upgrade, you need not accept the certificate again.
