Manage a Renamed vCenter Server

If you have renamed a managed vCenter Server, configure CA Server Automation and the vCenter AIM accordingly in the Administration tab:

To manage a renamed vCenter Server

  1. Discover the renamed vCenter Server.
  2. Change to Administration, Configuration, vCenter Server.

    The vCenter Server pane and the vCenter AIM Servers pane appear.

  3. Click the plus (+) button to add the renamed vCenter Server to the vCenter Server pane. Use valid credentials of your vCenter Server environment.

    The renamed vCenter Server appears in the list in normal state.

  4. Change to the vCenter AIM Servers pane and select the 1:1 relationship between the vCenter AIM Server and the vCenter Server (previous name). Click the Configure button.

    A dialog appears displaying the server names of that relationship.

  5. Select the renamed vCenter Server from the drop down menu, and click OK.

    The new relationship is active and CA Server Automation starts to manage the vCenter Server with the new name.

Important! The data related to the previous name is removed from the database.
