Configure the plugin server

You can configure the RecoverPoint for VMs vSphere plugin server from the Configure plugin server option on the RecoverPoint for VMs Deployer home screen. Alternatively, after using the Deployer installation wizard to successfully install a vRPA cluster on a vCenter, you can proceed directly to configure the plugin server in the Deployer.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that the admin user credentials are the same for all vRPA clusters on the vCenter that you are registering to the plugin server.
  • If you want to use a certificate that has been altered, for example, one that has been signed by your organization's internal certificate authority, see "Changing the plugin server certificate" in the RecoverPoint for VMs Administrator's Guide.

About this task

Configure the plugin server for only one vRPA cluster that is hosted by the vCenter Server.

Steps

  1. To start configuration of the RecoverPoint for VMs plugin server:
    1. Select Configure plugin server on the Deployer home page.
    2. Alternatively, immediately after successfully installing a vRPA cluster, click Proceed to Configure plugin server.
  2. Enter the IP address for the plugin server.
    NOTE:Use an IPv4 address only.
  3. Confirm the SSL certificate of the vCenter Server (remote host).
  4. Click Configure

Results

  • The plugin server installs the HTML-based RecoverPoint for VMs plugin on the vCenter Server. Installation of the plugin usually occurs immediately, but it might take some time for the vCenter Server to identify the plugin. It is recommended to log out from the vSphere Client, and then to log in again. To access the plugin, navigate to RecoverPoint for VMs in the vSphere Client menu.
  • The plugin server discovers and registers all vRPA clusters that are hosted by the vCenter Server and have the same admin user password, including vRPA clusters that may be added later. As a result, the plugin server knows how to direct API calls to the correct vRPA cluster.
