Vmware Certificate renew and Hostname or IP has changed Regenerating the self signed certificates

Vmware Certificate renew and Hostname or IP has changed Regenerating the self signed certificates


I was not able to connect to vCenter Server Appliance, so I restarted it.

 After that it showed that it will be renewed ssl certificates because VCSA wasnït restarted for a long period (more than one year in this case).

Later in console I got stuck on:

Hostname or IP has changed. Regenerating the self-signed certificates.
Starting VMware vPostgres: ok
Waiting for the embedded database to start up: .[OK]

Issue was solved using this article:
