If your database is on the same machine on which vCenter Server is to be installed, and you changed the machine name, verify the configuration. Make sure that the vCenter Server DSN is configured to communicate with the new name of the machine.
If your database is remote, you can skip this procedure. The name change has no effect on communication with remote databases.
After you rename the server, verify with your database administrator or the database vendor that all components of the database are working.
Prerequisites
- Make sure that the database server is running.
- Make sure that the vCenter Server computer name is updated in the domain name service (DNS).
