What's New
The VMware vRealize Orchestrator Plug-in for vSphere Replication 8.5.0.8 Express Patch provides bug fixes.
Installation
The vRealize Orchestrator Plug-In for vSphere Replication software requires a supported vRealize Orchestrator version and vSphere Replication 8.5.0.8. For more information about supported releases of vRealize Orchestrator, see the VMware Product Interoperability Matrices. For information on installing vRealize Orchestrator, see the vRealize Orchestrator documentation. For information on installing vSphere Replication 8.5.0.8, see Installing and Setting Up vSphere Replication in the VMware vSphere Replication documentation.
The Orchestrator Plug-In for vSphere Replication software is distributed as Orchestrator application file. Install and configure the plug-in by using the Orchestrator configuration interface. For more information, see the VMware vRealize Orchestrator Plug-In for vSphere Replication 8.5 Release Notes.
Note: The vRealize Orchestrator user, which is used to register the vCenter Server sites in vRealize Orchestrator must have the privilege Sessions.ValidateSession and the VRM Administrator role (or all the privileges of the VRM Administor role). The user must have the privileges on all vCenter Server instances in the vRealize Orchestrator inventory, otherwise the vRealize Orchestrator Plug-in for vSphere Replication does not populate the vSphere Replication inventory objects in vRealize Orchestrator.
Even if you want to configure replication to the same site, you must register it by selecting self pair in the Site field. Then, you must log in to the remote site by running the Login to VC Site workflow. You must run this workflow only once per vRealize Orchestrator user.
Note: vRealize Orchestrator communicates with the vSphere Replication appliance over port 8043.
