Configuring the SRM service

This is an alternative task.

You must perform this task only if you have not executed the EncryptvCenterPassword.ps1 script, but want to encrypt the secondary site vCenter Server user account password (do not want to specify the vCenter Server user account password in the command step to be added to the recovery plan).

You can configure the "VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager Server" service only if the SRM Server and the vCenter Server are present in the same domain.

Perform this task before you execute the recovery plan.

To configure the SRM service

  1. On the SRM Server at the recovery site, launch the Windows Services panel.
  2. Select and double-click on the "VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager Server" service.
  3. On the service dialog box that appears, select the Log On tab.
  4. On the Log On tab, select This account and browse or specify the vCenter Server user account details.
  5. Click Ok.
