Deploying Additional
vSphere Replication Servers 7
Depending on replication traffic, you might need to deploy one or more additional vSphere Replication
servers.
This chapter includes the following topics:
n
Deploy an Additional vSphere Replication Server
n
Register an Additional vSphere Replication Server
n
Reconfigure vSphere Replication Server Settings
n
Unregister and Remove a vSphere Replication Server
n
Disable the Embedded vSphere Replication Server
Deploy an Additional vSphere Replication Server
The vSphere Replication appliance includes a vSphere Replication server. However, you might need to
deploy multiple vSphere Replication servers to meet your load balancing needs.
You can deploy multiple vSphere Replication servers to route traffic from source hosts to target
datastores without traveling between different sites managed by the same vCenter Server.
For information about the loads that a vSphere Replication management server and a
vSphere Replication server can support, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2034768.
Prerequisites
n
Deploy vSphere Replication appliances on the source and target sites.
n
Deploy vSphere Replication servers on a network that allows them to communicate with the
vSphere Replication appliances on the source and target sites.
n
Verify that the vSphere Replication servers can communicate with the ESXi Server instances on the
source site that hosts the replicated virtual machines.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, start the OVF deployment wizard from Configure > vSphere Replication
> Replication Servers.
2 Browse for the vSphere_Replication_AddOn_OVF10.ovf, vSphere_Replication-system.vmdk,
and vSphere_Replication-support.vmdk files, select them, and click Next.
