Hi nuage compte
The appliance uses WinRM port 5986 (HTTPS) by default to communicate with Windows servers, and port 22 (TCP) for Linux servers.

Can you please the error screenshot and ensure that the below prerequisites are met or not.

Hi Naveena and thanks for your answer.

when you talk about ports, is theere any documents that summriaze ports for appliance and source machine? and also how to make those ports accessibles? (talk about NSG and Windows Firewall) because I am using Azure VM to simulate the Source machine and the replication appliance?

Also I have a problem when installing the mobility service with the simplified experience.

I don't know if it's installed automatically by the appliance or should I install it manually..

I use this tutorial for installation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/vmware-physical-mobility-service-overview?view=migrate-classic#install-the-mobility-service-using-command-prompt-modernized

but when replicating I got this error:
