Dell Storage Integration Tools for VMware Version 5.1 Administrator’s Guide

Configuring RMSV

To allow Replay Manager to communicate with VMware vCenter, RMSV must be configured with information about the VMware vCenter Server.

1. Log in to DSITV.
2. At the CLI prompt, type 3 (Configure RMSV) and press Enter.
   If you are upgrading from DSITV 4.1, DSITV begins the RMSV configuration process and asks if you want to migrate data from an existing DSITV 4.1 appliance. If you have an existing DSITV 4.1 appliance with data that you would like to migrate, continue with step 3. If prompted to migrate data, continue with step 4.
3. To begin the data migration, type y when prompted and continue with the following steps:

   NOTE: If you have already configured RMSV or migrated from a DSITV 4.1 appliance, the migration option is not available.

   1. Enter the IP address or host name of the DSITV appliance from which to migrate the data.
      DSITV authenticates the host and asks if you want to continue connecting.
   2. Type yes when asked to confirm that you want to continue connecting.
      DSITV adds the host to the list of known hosts, stops the Replay Manager on that host, and begins copying the RMSV data files.
   3. After the files are migrated, DSITV disables the Replay Manager on that host, restarts Replay Manager, and indicates that the data migration has completed. Continue with step 4.
4. Type the host name or IP address of the VMware vCenter Server and press Enter.
5. Type the user name of the VMware vCenter user with administrator privileges and press Enter.
6. Type the password of the user with administrator privileges and press Enter.
7. Retype the password and press Enter to confirm the password.
8. Type 11 and press Enter.
   RMSV attempts to connect to the VMware vCenter Server. If a Connected successfully message is displayed, continue to step 8. If a Connection to vCenter failed message is displayed verify the server information and repeat the steps 4 through 7. For additional information, see Troubleshooting RMSV.

   NOTE: If a server certificate message is displayed, type y and press Enter to trust the certificate.

9. Add the VMware vCenter Server to Replay Manager Explorer using the host name or IP address of DSITV and the user name and password of a VMware vCenter user with administrator privileges.

   See the Replay Manager Administrator’s Guide for details about adding the VMware vCenter Server to Replay Manager.

   NOTE: Replay Manager management tools such as Replay Manager Explorer must be installed on a computer that has connectivity to the DSITV virtual appliance.
