Another option is to suspend the non-critical VMs at the recovery site. This allows administrators to use the
DR location to host VMs that are not necessary in the event of a failover from the protected site. To do this:
1. Open the Monitor tab in the recovery plan.
2. To suspend virtual machines on the recovery site, right click Suspend Non-critical VMs at recovery
site and select Add Non-Critical VM.
3. Select the virtual machines to be suspended when this recovery plan is run.
There can be multiple recovery plans configured with multiple scenarios. The benefit of SRM is the ability to
configure multiple recovery plans and also non-disruptively test them to assure they meet the ever changing
organization’s needs. Once there is at least one recovery plan, testing can begin.
