6 To authenticate with the cloud, enter the address of your cloud provider, the organization name, and
credentials .
By default, vSphere Replication uses these credentials to establish a user session to the cloud and
for system monitoring purposes. To enable system monitoring, these credentials are stored in the
vSphere Replication appliance, unless you select to use another user account for system monitoring.
7 (Optional) If you do not want to store the credentials that you used for authentication, select the Use a
different account for system monitoring check box, and enter the credentials to be used for
system monitoring.
These credentials are encrypted and stored in the vSphere Replication database.
8 Click Next.
The New Site Pair wizard displays a list of virtual data centers to which you can connect. If a virtual
data center is already connected to the vCenter Server, that data center does not appear in the list.

What to do next
Select the networks on the target site that vSphere Replication must use for recovery operations. See
Select Recovery Networks on the Target Virtual Data Center.
Reconfiguring a Site Pair and Breaking a Site Pair
You can reconfigure or break an existing site pair.
If you have problems with an existing site pair, you can attempt to reconfigure the site pair with the
Reconfigure Site Pair action. When you provide the required credentials, the reconfiguration operation
attempts to repair the existing site pair.
With the Break Site Pair action, you can break the pairing between a vSphere Replication instance on
the protected site and the virtual data center on the vCloud Director account of your organization.
Note You cannot use the Reconfigure Site Pair action to add a missing pairing or a pairing that was
manually broken with Break Site Pair. If your site pair is missing a pairing, you must use New Site Pair
to configure it.
