vSphere Replication
Appliance Components

The
vSphere Replication
appliance provides all the components that
vSphere Replication
requires.
  • Site Recovery
    user interface that provides a full functionality for working with
    vSphere Replication
    .
  • A plug-in to the
    vSphere Client
    that provides a user interface for troubleshooting
    vSphere Replication
    health status and links to the
    Site Recovery
    standalone user interface.
  • A VMware standard embedded vPostgreSQL database that stores the replication configuration and management information.
    vSphere Replication
    does not support external databases.
  • A
    vSphere Replication
    management server:
    • Configures the
      vSphere Replication
      server.
    • Enables, manages, and monitors replications.
    • Authenticates users and checks their permissions to perform
      vSphere Replication
      operations.
  • A
    vSphere Replication
    server that provides the core of the
    vSphere Replication
    infrastructure.
The
vSphere Replication
appliance provides a virtual appliance management interface (
VRMS Appliance Management Interface
.) You can use the
VRMS Appliance Management Interface
to configure the appliance after deployment. For example, you can use the
VRMS Appliance Management Interface
to change the appliance security settings or change the network settings. You can deploy additional
vSphere Replication
Servers using a separate .ovf package.
