Configure the vCenter Server Replica Server

To set up VMware vCenter server for replication, configure a Replica server as follows:

Install vCenter components identically on Master and Replica servers.
If you are using distributed database deployment, configure vCenter server on the Replica to connect to the same Database Server configured for Master. If you are using local database deployment, configure vCenter server on the Replica to connect to the Database Server configured on the Replica.
Configure vCenter server on Replica to connect to License Server: If License Server is installed locally to the Master server, you must install another instance of License Server on the Replica and specify this instance in vCenter on the Replica. If the License Server is installed remotely to the Master, specify that instance in vCenter on the Replica.
Install the Engine on every vCenter server.
Note: For distributed database deployment, protect the database using Arcserve RHA for SQL Server or Oracle, as appropriate. Refer to the Operation Guide for more information. For distributed License Server deployment, the License Server cannot be protected in Arcserve RHA scenarios.

To set up VMware vCenter Server for high availability, configure a Replica server as follows:

Install vCenter Server components identically on Master and Replica servers. Ensure the Replica has the same database type as the Master. You should also use the same folder structure on both servers.
Configure the Database Server on the Replica according to the vCenter Server configuration method you used. For more information, see Configure the vCenter Server Database Server.
Configure the License Server on the Replica according to the vCenter Server configuration method you used. For more information, see Configure the vCenter Server License Server.
Note: To protect the distributed (remote) database servers, create separate Arcserve RHA scenarios for SQL or Oracle, as appropriate. However, if the License Server is deployed separately, Arcserve RHA cannot protect it.
