5 On the Secondary server, navigate to Start > Administrative Tools > Services and set the VMware vCenter

Server Heartbeat service to Automatic and close the dialog.

6 Start vCenter Server Heartbeat on the Secondary server. Right-click the vCenter Server Heartbeat System

Tray icon and select Start VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat. The icon changes from a double dash to an

S, indicating that the server is the Secondary server, and a dash (–), indicating that the server is in a passive

role.

The Primary and Secondary servers establish a handshake and commence replication.

7 Verify that Nslookup resolves as shown below:

 Nslookup resolves Service Name to Public IP

 Nslookup resolves Primary Name to Primary Management IP

 Nslookup resolves Secondary Name to Secondary Management IP

If vCenter Server only was installed and you want to install a separate SQL Server, repeat the installation

process for the Primary and Secondary servers at the remote site and select Protect SQL Server Only.

8 To install vCenter Server Heartbeat on SQL Server when installed on a separate host from the vCenter

Server, go to “Primary Server” on page 29

Configuring SQL Server Plug-in to run with the Correct Credentials

When protecting SQL Server, the SQL Server instance service must run under an account with administrator

rights rather than the Network Service or Local System account. If required, change the Log On AS property

by navigating to Start > Administrative Tools > Services. Select the SQL Service instance and click Properties.

Select the Log On tab and select This account. Provide the new account credentials and click OK. Once

complete, restart the SQL Server instance service.

1 Launch the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console and navigate to the Applications: Tasks page.

2Click User Accounts. Verify that the user account under which you installed vCenter Server Heartbeat is

present in the list of User Accounts. If it is present and is a member of the Domain Administrators group,

Enterprise Administrators group, or has been delegated Administrator rights, go to Step 6.

3In the User Accounts dialog, click Add.

4 Enter the credentials of a domain account that is a member of the Domain Administrators group,

Enterprise Administrators group, or one that has been delegated Administrator rights and click OK.

5 Once the account has been successfully added to the list, click Close.

6In the Task pane, select the Network Configuration task Set SPN (Primary).

7Click Edit.

8In the Edit Task dialog, in the Run As: drop-down field, select an account with appropriate rights (the

account previously added).

9Click OK.

10 Repeat the procedure for the Network Configuration task Set SPN (Secondary).

11 After successfully configuring the correct credentials, select the Set SPN (Primary) task and click Run Now.

Installing the View Composer Plug-in Post Installation

Installation of the View Composer Plug-in can occur during installation of vCenter Server Heartbeat or can be

installed post-installation.
