Modify a datacenter

In General information you can change the Name and Location of a datacenter

To modify the remote services in an existing datacenter:

Edit the datacenter and go to Remote services
- To add an existing remote service, click on the arrow to the right of the Remote service and select the new remote service
- To remove a remote service, click the black "x" beside it
- To display the status of the remote service from the last manual or automatic infrastructure check, click the Check button and the status indicator will show green or red (not available). You should not save a location when any of the remote services are not available in the location.
When you have edited all the Remote services, click Save.

You cannot edit the Appliance manager or the Business process manager. They must always be associated with one and only one location.
You can only replace them on the main Remote Services tab in Infrastructure view (the AM requires the same repository) or delete them by deleting the entire location.
