In addition to the vSphere Replication management server, as many as nine vSphere Replication servers can be deployed to a vCenter Server environment, for a maximum of 10 deployed vSphere Replication virtual appliances. These additional virtual appliances are referred to as vSphere Replication servers. They do not contain the management components found in the vSphere Replication management server and are used only to receive replicated data. In many cases, this is the only appliance that must be deployed to enable vSphere Replication protection.Īdditional vSphere Replication appliances can be deployed to support larger-scale deployments and topologies with multiple target locations. It contains the necessary components to receive replicated data, manage authentication, maintain mappings between the source virtual machines and the replicas at the target location, and provide support for vCloud Air Disaster Recovery and vCenter Site Recovery Manager. The first virtual appliance deployed is referred to as the vSphere Replication management server. Once the vSphere Replication virtual appliance has been configured and the VRM service is running, upon logging out of the vSphere Web Client and logging back in to the vSphere Web Client, you should now see the vSphere Replication plugin. *Note: you must install the Client Integration plug-in before you deploy an OVF template from the vSphere Web Client. After the appliance has been deployed and powered on, a Web browser is used to access the virtual appliance management interface (VAMI) to finalize configuration. A vSphere Replication virtual appliance is configured with two virtual machine disk (VMDK) files totaling 18GB in size.Ī vSphere Replication virtual appliance is deployed from an Open Virtualization Format (OVF) file using vSphere Web Client. Each appliance is deployed with 4GB of memory and either two virtual CPUs-for small environments-or four virtual CPUs. A maximum of 10 vSphere Replication appliances can be deployed per vCenter Server.
VSphere Replication is deployed as one or more prebuilt, Linux-based virtual appliances. What is the difference between vSphere Replication Appliance and vSphere Replication Server?
