Hi all,
I needed to wipe my vCenter server and start from scratch due to issues of naming conventions. Historic data loss was not going to be an issue.
I cleanly powered down vDP and removed vCenter server, SSO etc
A clean copy of SSO, vCenter and Update Manager installed. (same IP, different DNS name)
DNS was updated, and hosts re-attached to vCenter server.
vCenter was also configured with the same logon credentials for vDP
vDP was powered up and I navigated to the configure page.
When I try to re-attach to the new vCenter server I get the message:
"Your VDP Appliance does not appear to reside in the vCenter you have selected. Please address this discrepancy before attempting to switch vCenters."
In vSphere Web Client I can see Data Protection, connect to it and view all previous backup jobs.
I don't intend to restore my old vCenter server, do I need to re-deploy the template into vCenter server?
vCenter Server v 5.1
vDP v 5.1.11.3
