About This Book
VMware
®
vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is an extension to VMware vCenter that delivers a business
continuity and disaster recovery solution that helps you plan, test, and execute the recovery of vCenter virtual
machines. SRM can discover and manage replicated datastores, and automate migration of inventory from
one vCenter to another.
Intended Audience
This book is intended for Site Recovery Manager administrators who are familiar with vSphere and it
replication technologies such as host based replication and replicated datastores. This solution serves the needs
of administrators who want to configure protection for vSphere inventory. It may also be appropriate for other
users who need to add virtual machines to protected inventory or verify that existing inventory is properly
configured for use with SRM.
