Monitoring and Managing
Replications in
vSphere Replication 10
vSphere Replication provides a management interface where you can monitor and manage virtual
machine replication and connectivity states for local and remote sites.
The Home tab in vSphere Replication lists all vCenter Servers that are joined in the same SSO server
and the status of each vSphere Replication appliance with the total number of replications.
When you select a vCenter Server and go to the Summary tab, you can see vSphere Replication portlet
with a summary of the target sites, and outgoing and incoming replications for the vSphere Replication
appliance associated with that vCenter Server.
This section includes the following topics:
n
View the Replication Summary for a Site
n
View Replication Reports for a Site
n
Identifying Replication Problems in the Issues Tab
n
Manage Target Sites
n
Manage Replication Servers
View the Replication Summary for a Site
You can view summarized information for the target sites and the status of incoming and outgoing
replications for each site at the Summary tab of the vCenter Server to which vSphere Replication is
registered.
You can view the following information about a site:
n
The target sites and their current status.
n
A graphical representation of all incoming and outgoing replications with color-coded states of the
replicated virtual machines.
Prerequisites
Verify that vSphere Replication is running.
Procedure
1 Log in to the vSphere Web Client.
