# Reinitialize the vSphere Integrated Containers Appliance | ||
|
||
After you power on the vSphere Integrated Containers appliance for the first time, you are prompted to enter the vCenter Server credentials and Platform Services Controller settings. This allows the OVA installer to perform two tasks to initialize the appliance: | ||
|
||
- Tag the appliance VM for content trust | ||
- Register the appliance with the Platform Services Controller | ||
|
||
After initialization, the vSphere Integrated Containers Getting Started page should display a success message at the top of the page. In this case, no action is necessary. | ||
|
||
The Getting Started Page includes a button labeled **Re-Initialize the vSphere Integrated Containers Appliance**. | ||
|
||
**IMPORTANT**: Only reinitialize the appliance in the following circumstances: | ||
|
||
* The initialization of the appliance did not succeed and the Getting Started page includes a red error alert instead of a green success alert. For example, you see the error `Failed to locate VIC Appliance. Please check the vCenter Server provided and try again`. | ||
* You need to re-tag the appliance for Docker content trust. For more information, see [Re-Tag the vSphere Integrated Containers Appliance](retag_appliance.md). |

# Re-Tag the vSphere Integrated Containers Appliance # | ||
|
||
vSphere Integrated Containers Registry implements Docker content trust to sign images. As such, the vSphere Integrated Containers appliance requires a specific VM tag to identify it as a content trust source. | ||
|
||
In some cases, you might need to re-tag the appliance VM, for example if the tag has been accidentally deleted, or if the tagging of the VM failed during the first initialization of the appliance. If the tagging of the VM failed during initialization, you see the error `Failed to locate VIC Appliance. Please check the vCenter Server provided and try again` in the Getting Started page. | ||
|
||
**Procedure** | ||
|
||
1. In the Hosts and Clusters view of the vSphere Client right-click the OVA VM and select **Tags & Custom Attributes** > **Remove Tag**. | ||
2. Check that the `ProductVM` tag is present in the list of tags and click **Cancel**. | ||
3. If the `ProductVM` tag is missing, go to the vSphere Integrated Containers Getting Started page at http://<i>vic_appliance_address</i>. | ||
4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the **Re-Initialize the vSphere Integrated Containers Appliance** button. | ||
5. Enter the vCenter Server address and credentials and click **Continue**. | ||
6. After initialization, check in the vSphere Client that the `ProductVM` tag is present. |
