How do i reregister Update manager to my vcsa??

Have a new deployment of VCSA 6.5.  Latest version i believe.  The only issue i am facing is that the update manager is not working properly.  Edit options are all grayed out.  The server name is Stuck on the old vcenter server  FQDN.  Is there a way to change this?  if so how.  Thanks as always

cd to /lib/vmware-updatemgr/bin

verify if password value in configvalues.txt and vci-integrity.xml matches.

In my lab:

configvalues.txt:db_password=TjE_0wm4gW+I3cB9

vci-integrity.xml:    <password>TjE_0wm4gW+I3cB9</password>

Also you could try to reset-db and re-register:

/lib/vmware-updatemgr/bin/updatemgr-util reset-db

/lib/vmware-updatemgr/bin/updatemgr-util refresh-certs

/lib/vmware-updatemgr/bin/updatemgr-util register-vc
