Redundansy vCenter by SRM

Hello!

I have vCenter as VM on ESXi host. Can I create redundancy vCenter by SRM?

For example, if ESXi host failure with VM of vCenter server, can SRM start VM of vCenter on another ESXi?

Thanks.

First, to use SRM you will need a vCenter in recovery site too, and about the recovery of vCenter from protected site, SRM will recovery this VM on recovery site like a normal VM.

If you're talking about a single site with a ESXi cluster with vCenter running on VM you should use the High Availbility (HA) feature to protect the vCenter VM in case of host failure and not the SRM.
