[khans567]

I have installed SRM 6.5 within the  vCenter 6.5 ( Windows edition ) but vSphere Replication tab is not showing on vSphere Web Client however Site Recovery icon is showing on the home page. Secondly, option for enabling VM replication is also not showing when i do right click on VM.

Note:- Manage Tab is also not showing on vCenter Server. Please advice

Manage Tab is missing

VM Replication option is not available on VM

Please advice where i am performing mistake.

‌So you've installed SRM, but have you also installed vSphere Replication?

From memory I don't think there is a manage tab in the 6.5 vSphere client for vCenter either.

Cheers, Matt.

If you want replicate your virtual machines using vSphere Replication and automate the failover using SRM, you will need to deploy vSphere Replication, take in mind that SRM installation it self do not install vSphere Replication, since SRM can be used with Array Based Replication, instead of vSphere Replication.
