Manage Replication Servers
You can register new vSphere Replication servers in addition to the embedded one that is included with
the vSphere Replication appliance by default.
Prerequisites
Verify that vSphere Replication is running.
Procedure
1 Log in to the vSphere Web Client.
2 Select the vCenter Server to which the vSphere Replication appliance is registered.
3 Click Manage and click the vSphere Replication tab.
4 In Replication Servers:
a Click Deploy new vSphere Replication Server from an OVF template to deploy a new
vSphere Replication server. For more information see Chapter 5 Deploying Additional vSphere
Replication Servers
b Click Register a virtual machine as vSphere Replication Server to register virtual machine as
a vSphere Replication server. For more information see Register an Additional vSphere
Replication Server
c Select a vSphere Replication server from the list.
d Click Configure the selected vSphere Replication Server to access its VAMI.
e Click Reconnect button if its status is Disconnected.
f Click Unregister the selected vSphere Replication Server to unregister the selected
vSphere Replication server. For more information see Unregister and Remove a vSphere
Replication Server
