Server Configuration Wizard
The VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat – Server Configuration Wizard (Configure Server wizard) sets up
and maintains communications between the vCenter Server Heartbeat servers. After the system is set up and
is functioning correctly, you do not normally need to reconfigure the system. The Configure Server wizard
becomes redundant during daily operations of the software.
1 Before launching the Configure Server wizard, you must stop vCenter Server Heartbeat.
2 Click the Configure Server icon on the desktop or Start > All Programs > VMware > VMware vCenter
Server Heartbeat > Configure Server to launch the Configure Server wizard.
