Settings for Large Site Recovery Manager Environments

To protect a large number of virtual machines, you can modify the default Site Recovery Manager settings to

achieve the best possible recovery times in your environment or to avoid timeouts.

You modify certain options in the Advanced Settings menus in the vSphere Web Client or in the

Site Recovery Manager client plug-in. To modify other settings, you edit the vmware-dr.xml configuration

file on the Site Recovery Manager Server. Always modify settings by using the client menus when an option

exists. If you modify settings, you must make the same modifications on the Site Recovery Manager Server

and vCenter Server instances on both the protected and recovery sites.

To modify the settings, see “Modify Settings to Run Large Site Recovery Manager Environments,” on

page 111.
