2 Type the root user name and password for the appliance.
You configured the root password during the OVF deployment of the vSphere Replication appliance.
3 Click the Configuration tab.
4 In the LookupService Address text box, enter the IP address or domain name of the server where
the lookup service runs.
5 Enter the credentials of a user with administrator privileges to vCenter Single Sign-On.
Initially, only the user administrator@vsphere.local has these privileges.
6 Click Save and Restart Service.
7 Repeat the procedure to register vSphere Replication on the target site.
vSphere Replication appears on the Home tab in the vSphere Web Client.
What to do next
Note If you registered the vSphere Replication appliance with SSO as part of the upgrade procedure, all
existing connections will turn into Connection issue status. See Reconnect to a Remote Site.
If you competed this procedure as part of the installation process, you can configure connections between
the source and target sites.
Perform optional reconfiguration of the vSphere Replication appliance by using the VAMI. You can install
a certificate, change the appliance root password, change the trust policy, or configure
vSphere Replication to use an external database.
States of vSphere Replication Displayed in the vSphere Web Client
Before you can start using vSphere Replication, you must register the vSphere Replication appliance with
the vCenter Lookup Service and the Single Sign-On administration server in the environment.
In the vSphere Web Client, on the vSphere Replication Home tab, you can check the list of
vCenter Server instances in the Single-Sign On domain, and the status of vSphere Replication on each
vCenter Server instance.
The following table lists the vSphere Replication states that you can observe, their meanings, and what
you can do to change a state back to normal.
