Post Installation
On both the Primary and Secondary servers, navigate to Start > Administrative Tools > Services and set the
VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat service to Automatic, and close the dialog. See “Post Installation
Configuration” on page 14.
Post Installation Configuration
Upon completion of installation, a series of tasks must be performed to ensure that vCenter Server Heartbeat
is properly configured.
1 Verify that the SetSPN.exe (Service Principal Names) executable is present in the Windows\System32
directory on both the Primary and Secondary servers (this is normally present as a component of the
Windows 2008 operating system).
SetSPN.exe is a Microsoft command-line tool that reads, modifies, or deletes the Service Principal Names
(SPN) directory property for an Active Directory service account and is required to be present on both
servers prior to starting vCenter Server Heartbeat for the first time.
