• Datastore
• Location in vCenter
• Any custom /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf file modifications

2. Delete the vProxy appliance from NMC, as described in the Deleting the vProxy host section of the NetWorker VMware Integration Guide.
3. Log in to the vCenter server by using the vSphere Client and remove the vProxy virtual machine (VM) from the vCenter by powering off the VM and then deleting the vProxy.
4. Deploy the new vProxy appliance and configure the network settings, as described in the Deploy the vProxy appliance section of the NetWorker VMware Integration Guide.
