Couldn't deploy vSphere Replication OVF

[racom]

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy VMware-vSphere_Replication-5.1.0.1-885064.ova. I can select local file source and I can review details and accept EULAs. I can select name and folder. But after selecting storage (nevermind which one) validating runs for a long time and it ends with "cURL error: Couldn't connect to server" message. The same on both nodes of cluster.

We're running VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.1.0.5100.

Any idea, please?

I was logged onto the vcenter server

using the client and connecting to the server and deploy through there

[tomagoaluminium]

error during install was as follows

when I try deployment through web client, it gets stuck at selecting storage

     cURL error: Couldn't connect to server

my server is 2008 R2, opening the web client with IE

no plugin is listed for replication

you are going to need to log a call so that we can see the logs.

99.9% of the time its VERY simple to set this up. looks like there are some blocks somewhere on your network/firewalls stopping things working here. have you opened up all of the required ports between the various components? (see link bottom of this reply)
