In this specific lab I did not have a DNS server and I figured it was possible that the VRMS appliance wasn&#8217;t able to resolve the name &#8216;legacydc&#8217;.  I edited the \/etc\/hosts file on both appliances to include the names of each vCenter (legacydc and vcenter).  The hosts file did the trick and I was able to configure VRMS connections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been working on an SRM lab for the Indianapolis VMUG Demo Day event &#8212; which is on Thursday July 26th.
