For example, the following command configures the vCloud Tunneling Agent to use only port 10001.
/opt/vmware/vcta/bin/cell-management-tool
configure-vcta-server -prl 10001 -prh 10001
Note You can designate any free TCP port in your environment for the communication between
ESXi hosts and the vCloud Tunneling Agent, but you must verify that all ESXi hosts and the vCloud
Tunneling Agent are configured to use the same ports.
3 Run the following command to restart the vCloud Tunneling Agent.
service vmware-vcd restart
Configuring the Connection to the Cloud
In addition to installing and configuring the vSphere Replication appliance, you must configure the
connection to your cloud provider.
You can configure a connection to the cloud provider before you start the Configure Replication wizard
or while you configure a replication task.
Connect to a Cloud Provider Site
Before you configure replication tasks to the cloud, you configure the connections between your vSphere
environment and virtual data centers that belong to your cloud organizations.
You can connect a vCenter Server to multiple virtual data centers, and a virtual data center can be
connected to multiple vCenter Server instances. However, you can have only one connection between a
source vCenter Server and a target virtual data center.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have user credentials for a cloud organization in which vCloud Director is enabled. Your
cloud provider enables the Disaster Recovery to Cloud service per your contract.
Procedure
1 Click the Configure tab, click vSphere Replication > Target Sites, and click the cloud connection
icon .
The Connect to a Cloud Provider wizard opens.
2 On the Connection settings page, type the address of your cloud provider, the organization name,
and credentials to authenticate with the cloud.
By default, vSphere Replication uses these credentials to establish a user session to the cloud and
for system monitoring purposes. To enable system monitoring, these credentials will be stored in the
vSphere Replication appliance, unless you select to use another user account for system monitoring.
