How do you renew a cert between a physical hypervisor on premise and azure, using Azure Site Recovery, that has already expired?

Question

We replicate out physical hyper-v to Azure using ASR, it has been unable to connect for 2 weeks and have identified a cert (between the two platforms) has expired at the same tie the connections stopped.

This has happened to 4 servers implemented at the same time, the other 2, implemented later are ok. It seems, this cert wasnt obvoius to us, during install, so was overlooked for renewal.

How can this be renewed after expiry?

Hi @Darren Brown-A Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Q&A Platform. Happy to assist!

I understand that you have Hyper-V to Azure set up using ASR. However, the connection has failed between the two platforms due to cert expiration. See the snippet below with details to renew and to check certs expiry.
