VMware Site Recovery Manager API's don't appear to be functioning

Hello,

I have a fully licensed vCenter Server 6 Std.

I have an evaluation license of VMWare SRM 8 Enterprise that expires in 4 weeks.

I am having trouble with the VMware SRM API's working. Based on this documentation:

Online Documentation - Site Recovery Manager API Developer's Guide - VMware {code}

I should be able to go to "https://<FQDN_Server_or_IP_Address>:9086/vcdr/extapi/sdk" and get a response, but I do not. I simply receive a page can not be displayed message. I am attempting to view this link from a Windows server on the same network as the vCenter & SRM appliances. There are no OS firewalls to bypass, no special routing rules required.

VMWare SRM appears to be installed & configured such that I can create/configure site pairs and replication. I can login to the SRM appliance without issue.

Is anyone able to assist? Is there something I need to switch on/enable?

Hello

It seems for me you're trying to connect to SRM Windows version while you have actually deployed SRM PhotonOS based Virtual Appliance.

SRM API is located at the following endpoints:

  • for SRM Windows - https://<FQDN_Server_or_IP_Address>:9086/vcdr/extapi/sdk
  • for SRM Virtual Appliance (VA) - https://<FQDN_Server_or_IP_Address>:443/drserver/vcdr/extapi/sdk

Also note, that the API is SOAP based (not REST), so it might not work with just a browser request. I would recommend to check the docs in and download the SDK samples first

Online Documentation - Site Recovery Manager API Developer's Guide - VMware {code}

If you still have the issue, please file a support request to VMware.

Hope this helps

Ivan

Thank you! We actually figured this out already and I forgot to update this. This was exactly the issue.
