Thx @vNote42 , good to know. I always recommend using FQDN for all components, but often I see IP-addresses being used...

I really hate environments based on IP address.

I  can confirm, this works for Repository and/or Proxy Server as well! Because VBR manages these servers in its server-list as well (get/set-vbrserver), exact the same steps works here too!

I have to add: changing the address of a proxy/repo-server works fine.

But: Name-column remains unchanged. In my case I changed IP to FQDN. After that IP remains for name.

Great tip @wolff.mateus ! Didn’t know this!

I guess this just works when the vCenter is the same. Right?

 

Yeah @vNote42! It just works with the same database of vCenter.

Nice description. This is very useful for me, as the backup servers are often setup before services like DNS are available. Up to now I kept the IP in VBR, but it is nice to be able to change it to the DNS Name afterwards. :sunglasses:

Exactly @JMeixner

A great tip that usually no one realizes can be done.  Used this many times to change the VC name as we upgraded our infrastructure DCs and named the vCenter differently.  Now vCloud is another story and that one is SQL DB stuff. :smile:
