If you have enabled administrative access from public IPs so that administrators can pair or re-pair cloud sites, revert the restriction to its default value after the operation.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are running vCloud Availability 3.0.1 or later.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the vCloud Availability vApp Replication Manager service management interface.
    1. Open a Web browser and go to https://Appliance-IP-Address/ui/admin.
    2. Select Appliance login or SSO login and enter the root or the single sign-on user credentials.
    3. Click Login.
  2. In the left pane, click Configuration.
  3. Under Security settings, next to Restrict Admin APIs by source IP click Edit.
  4. In the Restrict Admin APIs by source IP window, select Do not allow admin sessions from the Internet (recommended) and click Apply.
    Under Security settings, next to Restrict Admin APIs by source IP you can see Do not allow admin sessions from the Internet listed.

Results

The administrative sessions from public IPs to all vCloud Availability services through the vCloud Availability Public API endpoint are restricted. As a result, vCloud Availability does not allow pairing and re-pairing new cloud sites.
