Import the New Certificate for vRealize Operations Manager to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager

The SSL certificate installed on vRealize Operations Manager must include all nodes in the subject alternative names (SANs), including all remote collector nodes. Before adding remote collectors in an additional VMware Cloud Foundation instance, you must update the certificate to include the new remote collector nodes if they are not already present in the SSL certificate.

You import the newly generated certificate to the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager certificate locker.
