Replay Manager Service for VMware

Replay Manager Service for VMware (RMSV) enables Replay Manger to communicate with VMware vCenter and create consistent

Replays of VMware virtual machines and datastores on a Dell Storage Center.

Conguring RMSV

To allow Replay Manager to communicate with VMware vCenter, RMSV must be congured with information about the VMware vCenter

Server.

Prerequisites

CAUTION: Errors might occur on the VMware ESXi host if multiple instances of RMSV, on multiple CITV virtual appliances, are

congured to communicate with a single VMware vCenter Server. Each instance of RMSV must be congured to communicate

with a dierent VMware vCenter Server.

• Deploy CITV and congure the time zone and network settings.

• Identify the host name or IP address of the VMware vCenter Server.

• Identify the user name and password of a VMware vCenter user with administrator privileges.

Steps

1 Log in to CITV.

2 When the CLI appears, type 4 and press Enter.

3 Type the host name or IP address of the VMware vCenter Server and press Enter.

4 Type the user name of the VMware vCenter user with administrator privileges and press Enter.

5 Type the password of the user with administrator privileges and press Enter.

6 Retype the password and press Enter to conrm the password.

7 Type 11 and press Enter.

RMSV attempts to connect to the VMware vCenter Server. If a Connected successfully message is displayed , continue to

Step 8. If a

Connection to vCenter failed message is displayed, verify the server information and repeat the previous steps.

NOTE

: If a server certicate message is displayed, type y and press Enter to trust the

certicate.

8 Add the VMware vCenter Server to Replay Manager Explorer using the host name or IP address of CITV and the user name and

password of a VMware vCenter user with administrator privileges.

Refer to the Replay Manager Administrator’s Guide for details about adding the VMware vCenter Server to Replay Manager.

NOTE

: Replay Manager management tools (such as Replay Manager Explorer) must be installed on a computer that has

connectivity to the CITV virtual appliance.
