What to do next
Next create a recovery plan with which to associate your protection groups. This process is described in “Create
a Recovery Plan,” on page 67.
Edit vSphere Replication Protection Groups
You can change the name of a vSphere Replication (VR) protection group and the virtual machines that are
protected in the group.
Procedure
1 Click Protection Groups in the left pane and right-click a protection group.
2 Select Edit Protection Group.
3 Edit the name or description of the protection group.
4 Add virtual machines to the protection group and click OK.
Configure Replication for a Single Virtual Machine
Individual virtual machines and their virtual disks can be protected by vSphere Replication (VR).
Prerequisites
To replicate a virtual machine using VR, you must establish the VR infrastructure at both sites. A minimal VR
infrastructure requires one vSphere Replication Management Server (VRMS) at both sites and at least one VR
Server (VRS) on the recovery site. SRM servers at each site must be paired, and VRMS must be paired as well.
Procedure
1 On the vSphere Client Home page, click VMs and Templates.
2 Browse the inventory to find the single virtual machine to be replicated using VR.
3 Right-click the virtual machine and click vSphere Replication....
