You can perform disaster recovery by running a recovery plan in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle with re-IP by using Site Recovery Manager.

Procedure

  1. Create a recovery plan for VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle VM and configure the recovery steps by turning off re-IP manually, and then disabling power on post recovery.
  2. Edit the hardware setting of the recovered VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle VM in the vCenter inventory, and then assign correct network.
  3. Power ON the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle VM.
  4. Access the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle VM console from vCenter inventory as a root user.
  5. Execute the following commands from the VM console.
    1. /opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_network <Network-Interface-Name> STATICV4+NONEV6 <New-IPV4> <SUBNETMASK> <DEFAULT-GATEWAY>
    2. /opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_dns <New-DNS-IP-OR-FQDN>
    3. /opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_hostname <New-Hostname>
    4. Reboot.
  6. Access the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle UI with the new IPv4 or the new FQDN, and then log in. Under Locker, select Home Certificates, and then generate a new certificate, which includes the updated VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle FQDN.
  7. On the Lifecycle Operations Home page, select Settings, and then select Change Certificate to update the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle certificate that is generated in the previous step.
  8. On the Lifecycle Operations Home page, select Settings, and then select Authentication Provider to perform SYNC and RE-REGISTER tasks. This upgrades the new FQDN of VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle in the VMware Workspace ONE Access catalog.
    Note: Perform this step only if the Workspace ONE Access is reachable to the network of the recovered VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle VM.
  9. Perform an inventory sync with the managed products to ensure VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle is functional with the new network settings.
