Change vSphere Replication Settings
You can adjust global settings to change how Site Recovery Manager interacts with vSphere Replication.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, click Site Recovery > Sites, and select a site.
2 On the Manage tab, click Advanced Settings.
3 Click vSphere Replication.
4 Click Edit to modify the vSphere Replication settings.
Option Description
Allow vSphere Replication to
recover virtual machines that are
included in Site Recovery Manager
recovery plans independently of
Site Recovery Manager. The default
value is false.
If you configure vSphere Replication on a virtual machine and include the
virtual machine in a Site Recovery Manager recovery plan, you cannot
recover the virtual machine by using vSphere Replication independently of
Site Recovery Manager. To allow vSphere Replication to recover virtual
machines independently of Site Recovery Manager, select the
allowOtherSolutionTagInRecovery check box.
Keep older multiple point in time
(PIT) snapshots during recovery.
The default value is true.
If you configure vSphere Replication to take PIT snapshots of protected
virtual machines, Site Recovery Manager only recovers the most recent
snapshot when you perform a recovery. To recover older PIT snapshots
during recovery, select the preserveMpitImagesAsSnapshots check box.
Change the timeout period for
vSphere Replication
synchronization operations. The
default value is 7200.
Enter a new value in the synchronizationTimeout text box. Change this
value if you experience timeout errors when vSphere Replication
synchronizes virtual machines on the recovery site.
Change the default RPO setting for
replications. The default value is
240.
Enter a new value in the vrReplication.timeDefault text box. The default
value is 240 minutes (4 hours). This value is selected when you configure
replications, but you can specify a different RPO in the Configure
Replication wizard when you configure replication for an individual
virtual machine or for a group of virtual machines.
