Recoverpoint and vCenter Server
We're running RP 3.2 SP2, ESX 3.5, and VirtualCenter 2.5. I'm trying to add a VirtualCenter server to RP but always get the error "Invalid Virtual Center credentials supplied."
For Port Number I've tried 902, 903, 443, and 80.
For the Username and Password I'm using a domain account that has Administrator access in Virtual Center. I've tried specifying it as domain/account and account. The password is correct and the account is not locked out.
I've looked in the RP documentation, and online, but haven't found more detailed information on what RP is looking for. Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks.

2. Validate VC can ping RPA Cluster IP
3. Validate VC is listening on port 443 ( netstat -an | find "443")
Note : Use 'boxmgmt' user to run commands from following menu options :
** Main Menu **
[2] Setup
[8] Advanced options
[6] System internal operations
[2] Run internal command
This is the list of commands you are allowed to use: switch_utils netstat ethtool date telnet ping ssh top
Enter internal command:
4. Using this secure connection you must use the Virtual Center (VC) certificate which can be found in the following directory on the Virtual Center server:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\SSL\rui.crt
Copy this to a location on the PC that you are running the RecoverPoint GUI and vCenter Server install from.
5. Using the RecoverPoint Console, right-click vCenter Servers, select Add vCenter Server credentials.
Under Credentials :
Server IP : < Note : this is the Virtual Center IP address and not an ESX IP >
Port number : 443
Username :
Password :
Certificate files:
Hope that helps,
Alan

Alan:
That did it! Thanks!
Another question: In VirtualCenter we have multiple clusters. Only one of these clusters is being replicated via RP. The other clusters are showing up in RP in an error state (because they're not being replcated via RP.) Do you know of a way for us to designate a particular cluster that we want to view or remove clusters that we do not want to view?
Thank you!
