replication stops working after re-deployed vcenter

my vcenter appliance crashed ( unknown reason) so i re-deployed it.

my vsphere replication stops working since then.

I have vsphere replication without site recovery manager and just replicating virtual machines to a datastore for a backup purpose.

vmware support engineer suggest me to redeploy it because he was also not able to fix it.

now i have redeployed it and it is still not showing any entry in vcenter . all the esxi hosts updated SSL thumbprint registry by itself but still no signs of vsphere replication icons in home page (anywhere else in vcenter).

on vsphere replication i can see the vcenter automatically picked and registered.

any help

maybe check you  vCenter server managed address (need vCneter reboot) and NTP settings.

also make sure on the vRA config you are connected to vCenter and there is no issues with SSL certs

log off / log back on to vCenter

Hi,

If the vSphere Replication plugin for the Web Client does not show up, the logs at /var/log/vmware/vsphere-client/logs/vsphere_client_virgo.log should have details on the issue.

Regards,

Martin
