Option Description
Local Host
Name or IP address of the local host. This value is obtained by the SRM
installer and needs to be changed only if it is incorrect. For example, the
local host might have more than one network interface and the one
detected by the SRM installer is not the interface you want to use. If you
use certificate-based authentication, the Local Host value must be the same
as the SAN value of the supplied certificate. This is usually the fully
qualified domain name of the SRM Server host.
Listener Ports
SOAP and HTTP port numbers to use.
API Listener Port
SOAP port number for API clients to use.
The SRM installer supplies default values for the listener ports. Do not change them unless the defaults
would cause port conflicts.
9 Provide the SRM database configuration information and click Next.
Option Action
Database Client
Select a database client type from the drop-down menu.
Data Source Name
Select an existing 64-bit DSN from the drop-down menu. You can also
click ODBC DSN Setup to start the Windows 64-bit ODBC Administrator
tool, to view the existing DSNs, or to create a new 64-bit system DSN.
Username
Type a user ID valid for the specified database.
Password
Type the password for the specified user ID.
Connection Count
Type the initial connection pool size. If all connections are in use and a
new one is needed, a connection is created as long as it does not exceed the
maximum number of connections allowed. It is faster for SRM to use a
connection from the pool than to create one. In most cases, it is not
necessary to change this setting. Before changing this setting, consult with
your database administrator.
Max Connections
Type the maximum number of database connections that can be open
simultaneously. If the database administrator has restricted the number of
connections that the database can have open, this value cannot exceed that
number. In most cases, it is not necessary to change this setting. Before
changing this setting, consult with your database administrator.
10 Click Install.
11 When the installation is finished, click Finish.
What to do next
Repeat the installation process on the recovery site.
Install the SRM Client Plug-In
To install the SRM client plug-in, you use a vSphere Client to connect to the vCenter Server at the protected
or recovery site. You download the plug-in from the SRM Server and enable it in the vSphere Client.
When you install the SRM Server, the SRM client plug-in becomes available as a download from the
vCenter Server instance that the SRM Server installation extends. You can download, install, and enable the
SRM client plug-in on any host where a vSphere Client is installed.
Prerequisites
Verify that you installed SRM Server instances at the protected and recovery sites.
Procedure
1 Start the vSphere Client and connect to vCenter Server at either the protected or recovery site.
