VMware vCenter Server privileges: replication using in-guest mode of Resiliency Platform Data Mover
To use Veritas Resiliency Platform Data Mover with VMware vCenter server for recovery to either premise vCenter data center or to some other cloud VMware Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) or to some other cloud data center, using the In-guest mode of Resiliency Platform Data Mover, the vCenter server user needs to have a role assigned that has the privileges, listed in the table, on the vCenter server data center level.
Review the following considerations before assigning the privileges:
You need to maintain propagation of these data center level privileges on the child objects.
The child objects should not restrict the data center level privileges.
