Table 4‑2. Site Connection States
Icon Status Description Remediation
Connected The connection between the
source site and the target site
is working properly.
Not needed.
Not authenticated The remote site is online, but
your user session has
expired.
In this state, you must enter
credentials to manage
replication tasks.
Already configured
replications are running in the
background.
Reconnect the sites. See topic
vSphere Replication Sites
Appear in the Not
Authenticated State of the
vSphere Replication
Administration document.

The SSL certificate on the
remote site has been
changed.

The network connection
between the source site
and the target site is not
functioning properly, or
the remote site is offline.

The user that is used for
authentication with the
Lookup Service or the

Reconnect to a Remote Site
If the state of the connection to a target site is Connection issue, you must repair the connection to
manage existing replications, and to enable the creation of new replications.
The states of connections to target sites appear in the vSphere Web Client, on the vSphere Replication
tab under Manage.
For reconnecting to cloud sites, see topic Reconnect to a Cloud Provider Site in the vSphere Replication
for Disaster Recovery to Cloud document.
If the source and the target vCenter Server instances use different SSO domains, the connection is
considered remote. The vSphere Replication Management Server on the source site registers with the
Platform Services Controller (PSC) of the remote SSO domain. To establish a connection to a remote site,
you provide the address of the vCenter Server and the PSC, and enter the credentials of a user that has
the VRM remote.Manage VRM privilege assigned. If the PSC address changes, the connection status
changes to Connection issue and you must reconnect the two sites.
