Cannot add new VMs to replicate to Azure

All the VMs we initially added on first setup are replicating ok, but it seems like the discovery of NEW VMs is not happening.

All VMs responding to ping from the appliance.

    Hello @Chris Charles ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.

    vCenter discovery failures:

    • To resolve vCenter discovery failures, add the vCenter server to the byPass list proxy settings.
    • Download PsExec tool from here to access System user content.
    • Open Internet Explorer in system user content by running the following command line psexec -s -i "%programfiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
    • Add proxy settings in IE and restart tmanssvc service.
    • To configure DRA proxy settings, run cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Provider
    • Next, execute DRCONFIGURATOR.EXE /configure /AddBypassUrls [add IP Address/FQDN of vCenter Server provided during Configure vCenter Server/vSphere ESXi server step of Configuration Server deployment]

    Reference : vmware-azure-troubleshoot-configuration-server

    Another reason for the discovery to not work correctly could be due to change in vCenter account credentials that were passed earlier during initial configuration. Please update the credentails on the ASR configuration servers cspsconfigtool.exe. For instructions follow this Link
