Hi
I can setup a replication but it never syncs. If I look at the virtual machine that's configured for replication, it will state that it could not contact the VR server and suggests to reconfigure the replication.
I can ping all the virtual machines,appliances and hosts.
In vCenter, each host is determined by its fqdn, ie. hosta@domain.local
In VR config, it was set as the IP address but I changed it to the FQDN, then saved and restarted the service.
The setup is as follows:
Host A - ESXI 5.5 - Dell's own version
Host B - ESXI 5.5 - HP's own version
On Host A:
vCenter Appliance 5.5
VM Replication Server 5.5
On Host B:
Red Hat Linux 6.5
Each host has it's own datastore, housed in an array within the host server. Host A has 5.45TB, B has 1.5TB
The replication was set to replicate the Red Hat Linux server from Host B to Host A
There is no firewall between the two hosts, they are both also on the same LAN and connected through the same switch.
I have made sure that all the ports are open (listed as HBR on the firewall) on both ESXI hosts. I have also, just in case, turned off the firewall for the Linux server.
When I look at the vmkernel.log, I see the following:
WARNING: HBR: 549: Connection failed to 127.0.0.1 : Connection refused
Then followed by either:
WARNING: HBR: 549: Failed to establish connection to 127.0.0.1:31031: Connection refused
WARNING: HBR: 4521: Failed to establish connection to 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Each of the above lines, mentions a groupID, but I presume this is irrelevant.
I think that about covers it, been looking at this all day and not getting anywhere
