Option Action
Network Mappings
Map networks on the protected site to networks on the recovery site.
Folder Mappings
Map datacenters or virtual machine folders on the protected site to
datacenters or virtual machine folders on the recovery site.
Resource Mappings
Map resource pools, standalone hosts, vApps, or clusters on the protected
site to resource pools, standalone hosts, vApps, or clusters on the recovery
site. You can map any type of resource on one site to any type of resource
on the other site.
NOTE You cannot map individual hosts that are part of clusters to other
resource objects.
3 Click the icon to create a new mapping.
4 Select whether to create the mapping automatically or manually and click Next.
This step only applies to network mappings and folder mappings. Automatic mapping is only available
for network and folder mappings. You must configure resource mappings manually.
Option Description
Automatically
Site Recovery Manager automatically maps networks and folders on the
protected site to networks and folders on the recovery site that have the
same name.
Manually
To map specific networks and folders on the protected site to specific
networks, folders, and resources on the recovery site.
5 Select the items on the protected site to map to items on the recovery site.
n
If you selected automatic mapping, expand the inventory items on the left to select a parent node
on the local site, for example a datacenter or a folder, then expand the inventory items on the right
to select a parent node on the remote site.
n
If you selected manual mapping, expand the inventory items on the left to select a specific object on
the local site, then expand the inventory items on the right to select the object on the remote site to
which to map this object.
If you select manual mapping, you can map multiple items on the local site to a single item on the
remote site. You can select only one item at a time on the remote site.
NOTE Auto-mapping for NSX universal wires is only supported with storage policy protection groups.
If you are using virtual machine protection groups, you must explicity configure network mapping
between the two ends of the universal wire to ensure that the virtual machines recover on the same
universal wire. See “Using Site Recovery Manager with VMware NSX,” on page 127.
6 Click Add mappings.
The mappings appear at the bottom of the page. If you selected automatic mapping,
Site Recovery Manager automatically maps all of the items under the node that you selected on the
protected site to items that have the same name under the node that you selected on the recovery site.
7 Click Next.
