After you create sites, add the vCenter clusters for each site in NetApp Disaster Recovery. The site type determines the access NetApp Disaster Recovery requires for the vCenters in that site. Amazon EVS vCenters and on-premises vCenters use the same connection and authentication information.

Steps to add a vCenter to each site

  1. From the Sites option, select Add vCenter for the site you want.

    Add vCenter option

  2. In the Add vCenter server dialog box, select or provide the following information:

    1. The NetApp Console agent hosted within your AWS VPC.

    2. The IP address or FQDN for the vCenter to be added.

    3. If needed, change the port to the TCP port used by your vCenter server.

    4. The vCenter username for the account created earlier that will be used by NetApp Disaster Recovery to manage the vCenter.

  1. If your organization uses an external certificate authority (CA) or the vCenter Endpoint Certificate Store, uncheck Use self-signed certificates. Otherwise, leave the box checked.

    1. Select Add.
