Exercise 1: Pairing Sites
It is assumed that Site Recovery Manager has been installed in both sites, a replication solution
has been deployed, and all virtual machines that will be protected by Site Recovery Manager are
being replicated.
Site Recovery Manager is managed using vSphere Web Client. During the installation of Site
Recovery manager, a plugin is installed in vSphere Web Client and an icon labeled “Site
Recovery” is displayed.

The first step in configuring Site Recovery Manager is pairing sites. The most common
configuration is pairing two sites - a protected site and a recovery site. That is the configuration
prescribed for these evaluation exercises. Site Recovery Manager also supports “shared” sites
that consist of a single vCenter Server and multiple Site Recovery Manager servers. An example
of this is a shared recovery site for branch offices.
