Change vCenter or ESXi host information for a vSphere Recovery Agent

Use the following procedure to change vCenter or ESXi host environment information for a vSphere Recovery Agent, including the host name or address and account and password for authenticating with the vSphere environment.

If you change the password for the account used to authenticate with a vSphere environment, change it as soon as possible for the VRA.

To change vCenter or ESXi host information for a vSphere Recovery Agent:

1. In Portal, on the navigation bar, click Computers.

   The Computers page shows registered computers.

2. Find the vSphere Recovery Agent, and expand its view by clicking its row.

3. On the vSphere Settings tab, do the following:

   • In the Host box, enter the host name or IP address of the vCenter or ESXi host that you want to protect. Specifying the host name is recommended. This will allow DNS to handle IP address changes.

   • In the Domain box, type the domain of the account for authenticating with the vCenter or ESXi host. The domain is not required if you specify the domain in the Username box.

   • In the Username box, type the account that is used to authenticate with the vCenter or ESXi host. You can type the account as username, domain\username, or username@domain.

     The user must have administrator permissions for the vCenter or ESXi host.

   • In the Password box, type the password for the specified user.

4. Click Save. A Success message appears. Click Okay.
