I have deployed one vSphere replication VRM appliance at Primary site and second at DR Site... getting the following error while trying to connect...
“Site pairing or break operation failed.”
I also found the following in hms.log file;
/opt/vmware/hms/logs/hms*.log
hms.log -> java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.client.exception.ConnectionException: org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://172.16.40.4:80 refused
please suggest...
172.16.40.4 what IP is that ? Can you please confirm it ? Also please do check if you met all the network port requirements
that's ip address of vcenter at primary site
found this in hms log file
The detailed exception is: 'org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://PGVCenter01.mydomain.com:80 refused'.
i have checked , all ports are open....
Ok cool. What version of VR we are using in this setup ?
1) perform a /etc/init.d/hbrsrv restart on VR and confirm the status .
2) DNS should be working ,VC fwd/Rervrs lookup from VR.
3) Try migrating VR to another host and perform a registration.
4) Do a curl -v telnet://x.x.x.x:80 from VR appliance.
I've tried all steps you mentioned, i'm using VRM 5.1.3.0 build-2318240
would you like to share with me your skype id or phone?
again same error !
VRM Server generic error. Please check the documentation for any troubleshooting information. The detailed exception is: 'org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://PGVCenter01.domain.com:80 refused'
I've performed telnet test and found that ;
PRIMARY_SITE can telnet to DR_SITE over port 80
DR_SITE can't telnet to PRIMARY_SITE over port 80
sorry for the late update. Did you managed to find out why PORT 80 is blocked ?
can you check your DNS with nslookup? make sure you can do forward and revers nslookups for all servers. or just add the DNS record, flush the VRA’s DNS cache either from the command line or by rebooting the system from VAMI interface. Save and restart for both VRAs, Log out and back into both of the vCenter Server web clients.
