Site Recovery Manager generates the certificate if you do not provide a custom
certificate during the installation.
You can import the certificate into a client trust keystore to allow users to
implicitly trust the Site Recovery Manager Server certificate.
IMPORTANT Configure access control lists to restrict the access to the .p12 files as appropriate for your
environment.
NOTE Do not modify, delete, or move the .p12 files.
NOTE Do not extract or share private key information to protect your Site Recovery Manager instance.

Site Recovery Manager Log Files
Site Recovery Manager records operational information into the log files. The logs files do not contain
sensitive information such as private keys and passwords.
Site Recovery Manager stores the system log files in the C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware vCenter Site
Recovery Manager\Logs directory. The latest messages from Site Recovery Manager Server are placed in the
vmware-dr-number.log file.
If you restart Site Recovery Manager Server or the current file must exceed the set file size limit,
Site Recovery Manager archives the current log file and creates a new log file.
