Prerequisites
n
Create a replicaton server. Because the synchronization process is independent from the replication
process, you do not need to enable replication to run the synchronization process. See “Set Up FSDB
Replication,” on page 128.
n
Become familiar with how to start and stop the Analytics service. See “Start or Stop vCenter Operations
Manager Services,” on page 108.
n
Contact VMware technical support before you change any FSDB synchronization settings.
Procedure
1 Open the replication.properties file in the vcenter-ops\user\conf\analytics directory on the
vCenter Operations Manager server.
2 Set synchronize=true.
3 Specify the resource ID from which to start synchronization.
4 Save your changes and close the replication.properties file.
5 Restart the Analytics service on the primary vCenter Operations Manager server.
Manage the Replication Process
If you use a replication server to back up the primary vCenter Operations Manager server, you can use the
Custom user interface to manage the replication process.
Prerequisites
Create and configure a replication server. See “Set Up FSDB Replication,” on page 128.
Procedure
1 Select Admin > Support and click the Info tab.
Replication information appears in the Replication Info pane.
2 Use the icons at the top of the Replication Info pane to manage the replication process.
Option Description
Start the replication process
a Click the Start Replication icon.
b Click Yes in the Start Replication dialog box to start the replication
process.
Stop the replication process
a Click the Stop Replication icon.
b Click Yes in the Stop Replication dialog box to stop the replication
process.
When the replication process begins, the Replication status changes to Running. If an error occurs
during the replication process, an error message appears in the Replication Info pane.
3 (Optional) Click the Refresh icon to update the status information.
The status information refreshes every five minutes by default.
Manage the Synchronization Process
If you have a replication server, you can manage synchronization from the Custom user interface.
Prerequisites
Create a replication server. Because the synchronization process is independent from the replication process,
you do not need to enable replication to run the synchronization process. See “Set Up FSDB Replication,” on
page 128.
