Upgrading Site Recovery Manager (SRM) 8.3.1 to 8.4

I recently started looking at prerequisites to a vSphere 7 upgrade, by reviewing any associated upgrades that might be needed. VMware Site Recovery Manager was one product that needed to be upgraded prior to this. I decided I would fire up a quick nested setup in my HomeLab to run through the process before hand and share the process! This nested lab consists of two ESXi 6.7 nested hosts, two vCenter 6.7 VCSA’s and two SRM 8.3.1 appliances, with the VCSA’s and SRM appliances having custom CA certificates installed.

SRM 8.3 Certificate Management

Following on from my last post on vSphere 7.0 certificate Management, I wanted to continue with another certificate related post. This one being Site Recovery Manager (SRM) 8.3. Like vSphere 7.0, this version seems simpler than previous versions I have used. With SRM, it’s the Appliance Certificate replacement that I am going to take you through in this blog post. Firstly log into the SRM appliance management console via https://<srm-fqdn>:5480 and select the ‘Certificates’ option on the left, followed by ‘Generate CSR’ in the top right.
