Renew vCenter certificate for storage VASA provider

[mhdganji]

Hi,

vCenter 6 was connected to My EMC storage via storage provider

Today it was inaccessible and I tried to register it manually but it says certificate is expired and it shos a certificate which was granted to EMC storage by vcenter the first time the VASA connection was established (seems it is this way by design)

But I cannot find where and how I can renew this certificate or force to use another certificate so VASA is still unavailable

Please help me on this

Thanks

I changed the name of storage management address but still the same...

A very funny KB here

Refresh Storage Provider Certificates

If you fail to refresh the certificate before it expires, vCenter Server discontinues using the provider.

So I should retire my storage or what ?

I changed the storage name and now I'm getting a new certificate appearently..

But when trying to add vasa provider it simply says a problem was encountered while registering the provider

seems certificate issue is not yet resolved

com.vmware.vim.sms.provider.vasa.cert.CertificateManagerImpl - Certificate has expired.

Log says ..
