OK I've made progress... I unregistered my new appliances while the old ones were on. Turned those off. Re-registered the appliances and it's connect. I have one last problem...   Operation Failed vSphere Replication Management Server could not establish connection to remote vSphere Replication Management Server at 'remoteVSRA:8043'.   I'm reading KB about it saying I need to get into the DB and clean it, but it's referencing MSSQL so I think that's an older one. I've unregistered everything so the new IP shouldn't matter I wouldn't think. Going to keep chasing it, but I've gotten over the biggest hurdle.  Edit: I rebooted the VSRA and it's looking better. Doing a test replication now to see what happens. Fingers crossed! 

I can't, they're all stuck. Delete is grayed out for VMs, protection groups and plans unfortunately. I'm thinking that since I installed 8.5.0 over top of 8.4 or whatever I had before it kept the database in vCenter. 

I have a plan, but I wanted to run it by the community: Unregister my new VSRA/SRM boxes gracefully Go into /mob and remove the plugins for SRM and VSRA Re-register When I was connecting my new ones it mentioned it was going to remove my broken / old ones, which it did, but I assumed it would go through and unregister. It seems like it doesn't because the db is still holding on to old replications / and groups.
