This section describes the tools to configure the SRM server. What to read next GetRunningTaskThis method gets the currently active configuration task or null. CheckRegistrationThis method checks whether the given extension key is already registered in SSO, lookup service, and as a vCenter extension. Returns a list of existing registrations for the requested extension key. ClearSrmConfigurationThis method clears the SRM server configuration with the vSphere infrastructure. Returns a task object that can be used to monitor the operation. ConfigureSrmThis method configures the SRM server and connects it to the vSphere infrastructure. ConfigureSyslogForwardingThis method sets syslog log forwarding. When enable is set to true, this method adds a rule to syslog configuration for given apps and restarts rsyslog service. With this rule, all the logs written by these apps to syslog are forwarded to the specified server. Note that the rule will be either appended or updated in the syslog configuration file and this does not remove any existing rules for other apps. When enable is set to false, the existing rules for given apps added with this method are deleted. ConfigureSyslogServersThis method sets the syslog log forwarding. It configures all the SRM applications to forward to the specified servers. Receiving null deletes all the configurations. The new spec completely replaces the old configured servers. EnableSyslogLoggingThis method enables or disables logging to syslog. When enabling syslog logging for SRM, this method call must be preceded by configure call which will generate the SRM configuration file. GetSyslogServersThis method gets the syslog log forwarding information. Returns fwdInfo which is a list of SyslogForwardInfo objects that contain information about all the syslog servers. IsReconfigureRequiredThis method checks if the reconfigure operation is required after an upgrade. Returns the boolean True if the reconfiguration is required. Reconfiguration is required after an upgrade when the Site Recovery Manager has been configured prior to the upgrade operation. This flag is not set after the upgrade if the Site Recovery Manager was never configured. ListVcServicesThis method lists all the vCenters in the Platform Service Controller (PSC). ReadCurrentConfigThis method reads the specification for the currently configured SRM server. Returns null if the SRM is not yet configured. If a configuration task is currently in progress this method returns its config parameter. SendSyslogTestMessageThis method sends a test message to all the configured syslog servers. It sends a specified message to the syslog servers. The operation to send a message cannot get the result for the connection, so the client must manually verify that the syslog server logs contain the specified string. The test message is hardcoded. ValidateConnectionThis method validates connections to the vSphere infrastructure. If there is no explicit and valid vcInstanceId in the connection spec, no vCenter validation is done. Only the infranode is validated. SetHbrSrvNicSets the HBR filter and management addresses. GetHbrSrvNicGets the HBR filter and management IP addresses. GetServicesSyslogLogLevelIt returns the configured log level that is forwarded via syslog, for each supported service.
