2 VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager overview
VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager works as a plug-in component for VMware vCenter and
integrates its functionality in VMware vCenter.
VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager:
• Builds, manages, tests, and executes disaster recovery solutions for virtual infrastructure
implementations.
• Uses the storage replication mechanism between the protected site and the recovery site for
disaster recovery of protected site virtual infrastructure.
• Creates a recovery point objective by creating a protection group at the protected site. The
protection group contains replicated virtual machines.
• Creates a recovery plan at the recovery site for the protection group at the protection site.
The recovery plan can be tested at any time at the recovery site to verify that recovery
point objective can be achieved at the time of disaster.
◦
◦ The recovery plan can be executed at disaster time or at any desired time at the recovery
site to guarantee that recovery point objective is met.
