4 Follow the prompts to select a destination host, datastore, and disk format for the virtual appliance.
5 Enter a password for the appliance that is at least eight characters long.
6 Set the network properties. Select DHCP or set a static IP address.
You can change network settings after deployment in the VAMI.
7 Review your settings and click Finish.
8 Power on the vSphere Replication appliance.
What to do next
When the OVF file has deployed, register the vSphere Replication server with the vSphere Replication
appliance.
Register an Additional vSphere Replication Server
If you deploy additional vSphere Replication servers, you must register these servers with the
vSphere Replication appliance to enable them as traffic handlers at the recovery site.
Note You can register additional vSphere Replication servers that run within the same vSphere
environment.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the vSphere Replication appliance is deployed and configured.
n
Verify that the additional vSphere Replication Server is deployed.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, navigate to Manage > vSphere Replication > Replication Servers, and
click Register a virtual machine as vSphere Replication Server.
2 From the inventory, select a virtual machine that is a working vSphere Replication server and click
OK.
The newly registered vSphere Replication server appears in the list of vSphere Replication servers.
Reconfigure vSphere Replication Server Settings
The vSphere Replication appliance contains a vSphere Replication server. If you deploy additional
vSphere Replication servers, the server settings are established during deployment. You can modify the
settings after you deploy the server.
