Option Description
Local Host
Name or IP address of the local host. The Site Recovery Manager installer
obtains this value. Only change it if it is incorrect. For example, the local
host might have more than one network interface and the one that the
Site Recovery Manager installer detects is not the interface you want to
use.
IMPORTANT To facilitate IP address changes in your infrastructure, provide
a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) whenever possible, rather than an
IP address.
Listener Port
HTTPS port for all management traffic to Site Recovery Manager Server,
including traffic with external API clients for task automation. The port is
also used by vSphere Web Client to download the Site Recovery Manager
client plugin. This port must be accessible from the vCenter Server proxy
system. Do not change the port unless the default of 9086 causes port
conflicts.
