You can see the vSphere Replication status on each vCenter Server in your environment and if vSphere Replication does not function properly, you can find the appropriate remediation.
Before you begin using vSphere Replication, you must configure the vSphere Replication Appliance to Connect to a vCenter Server.
After the configuration, in the vSphere Client, when you click Site Recovery, you can see the list of vCenter Server instances and the status of vSphere Replication on each vCenter Server instance. If you have Site Recovery Manager deployed in your environment, you can also see the status of Site Recovery Manager. You can change the configuration of each vSphere Replication appliance by clicking the Configure icon next to the status icon.
The following table lists the vSphere Replication states that you can observe, their meanings, and what you can do to change a state back to normal.
