Exercise 2: Configure Inventory Mappings
Inventory mappings consist of three types: Resource mappings, folder mappings, and network
mappings. These mappings provide default settings for recovered virtual machines. For
example, a mapping can be configured between a network port group named “Production” at
the protected site and a network port group named “Production” at the recovery site. As a
result of this mapping, virtual machines connected to “Production” at the protected site will, by
default, automatically be connected to “Production” at the recovery site.
There is no issue with having a port group at each site with the same name since each site is
managed by a separate vCenter Server instance. Having port groups at each site with the same
name eases Site Recovery Manager configuration. If port groups at the protected and recovery
site have different names, the mappings must be created manually.
