You can review current network settings and change address and proxy settings for vSphere Replication. You might make these changes to match network reconfigurations.
Note:
vSphere Replication can either be deployed with IPv4 or IPv6 address. Mixing IP addresses, for example having single appliance with both IPv4 and IPv6 address, is not supported. To register properly as an extension,
vSphere Replication relies on the
VirtualCenter.FQDN property of the
vCenter Server. When IPv6 address is used for
vSphere Replication, the
VirtualCenter.FQDN property must be set to a fully qualified domain name that can be resolved to an IPv6 address or to a literal address. When operating with IPv6 address,
vSphere Replication requires that all components in the environment, such as
vCenter Server and
ESXi hosts are accessible using IPv6 address.
Prerequisites
- Verify that the vSphere Replication appliance is powered on.
- You must have administrator privileges to configure the vSphere Replication appliance.
- You updated vCenter Server to the corresponding 5.5.x update release.
Procedure
What to do next
A network address change might require you to reconnect the source and target sites and might also require a change of certificate if you have activated verification of certificate validity.
