Change Remote Site Settings
Use the Advanced Settings remoteSiteStatus page to modify default values that the SRM server at the site to
which the vSphere Client is currently connected uses to determine whether the SRM server at the remote site
is available
SRM monitors the connection between the members of an SRM site pair (a protected site and its recovery site)
and, by default, raises alarms when this connection is interrupted. You can change the criteria that cause a
"remote site down" event and also change the way the related alarms are raised to suit your needs.
Procedure
1 Click Sites in the left pane, and right-click the remote site whose settings you want to change.
2 Click Advanced Settings.
3 Click remoteSiteStatus.
4 Modify the settings.
