Create protection groups
Protection groups (containing replicated virtual machines) fail over the storage and VMs to the recovery
site during test and recovery. To create protection groups, follow the instructions in the VMware Site
Recovery Manager Administration Guide.
Create recovery plans
A recovery plan is a list of steps the SRM follows on a protected site to switch operation from the
protected site to the recovery site during a disaster (or test operation). A basic recovery plan includes
a number of prescribed steps that use default values to control how virtual machines in a protection
group are recovered at the recovery site. You can customize the plan to meet your needs. Recovery
plans are different from protection groups in that recovery plans indicate how virtual machines in one
or more protection groups are restored at the recovery site.
For more information about recovery plans and how to configure them recovery plans on the recovery
site, follow the instructions in the VMware Site Recovery Manager Administration Guide.
