vcenter managed IP

[tdubb123]

why do I need to configure the vcenter managed ip address when setting up vsphere replication? what is the vcenter rmanaged ip for?

vcenter already has an ip.

Hi

Certain new capabilities leverage one of the vCenter APIs and part of the process of allowing access to vCenter to use those APIs is in the vCenter Gui in the administration section to specify the IP address (which is not done by default) this is still the same IP as vCenter currently uses but you are specifically enabling vCenter to receive API calls from privileged apps such as HBR, the vSphere web client etc.

So if it asks for you to specify the IP it just needs to be specified in that dialogue box and you are good to go - do you not already have the web client enabled?

Many thanks

Is the vcenter managed ip different from the ip vcenter got now? I read hosts gets disconnected after adding in another ip for vcenter
