vSphere Replication Appliance configuration fails with the error

[naka369]

Hi,

I installed vSphere Replication newly on my vCenter. Their version are as below.

vCenter : 6.7.0

vSphere Replication : 8.1.0

I registered "Startup Configuration" so that the appliance  can connect to the Lookup Service, but I ended up with the error: Bad exit code: 1.

I tried KB2121689 doubting the issue of SSL certification, but it didn't work.

VMware Knowledge Base

Do you have any idea what could be wrong to set up vSphere Replication?

Or any method to resolve this issue ?

Thank you for you help.

Update:

I see /var/log/messages on vSphere Replication Appliance VM.

Then I noticed there is a difference about thumbprint although I don't know what these commands mean.

Is this usual that two type of thumbprint appear on this log ?

Or same thumbprint should appear here ?

Probably, you have a stale SSL trust left back in the sts store?
