Prerequisites
n
You installed one or more SRM Server instances on a shared recovery site.
n
You assigned the same SRM extension ID to an SRM Server instance on a protected site and to an
SRM Server instance on the shared recovery site.
Procedure
1 Connect the vSphere Client to vCenter Server on the shared recovery site.
2 Select Plugins > Manage Plug-ins.
3 Under Available Plug-ins, locate VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager Extension and click
Download and Install.
A client plug-in is available from each of the SRM Server instances that are running on the shared
recovery site. You can install the SRM client plug-in from any SRM Server instance. Install the client
plug-in only once. Subsequent installations overwrite each other.
4 Follow the prompts of the installer to complete the installation of the SRM client plug-in.
5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 to install the SRM client plug-in on all instances of the vSphere Client that
you use to connect to SRM on the protected and recovery sites.
What to do next
Connect the protected sites to the shared recovery site.
Connect to SRM in a Shared Recovery Site Configuration
When you log in to SRM on a site on which more than one SRM Server is running, SRM prompts you to
select one of the SRM Server instances to which to connect.
For each SRM Server instance that is running at the shared recovery site, the prompt lists the SRM ID,
organization, and description that you supplied when you installed SRM Server.
Prerequisites
n
You installed one or more SRM Server instances on a shared recovery site.
n
You assigned the same SRM extension ID to an SRM Server instance on a protected site and to an
SRM Server instance on the shared recovery site.
n
You connected the vSphere Client to vCenter Server on the shared recovery site.
n
You installed the SRM client plug-in.
Procedure
1 Click Home in the vSphere Client.
2 Click Site Recovery under Solutions and Applications.
3 Select the SRM ID of the SRM Server instance to connect to and click Open.
What to do next
Configure the connections between the protected sites and the shared recovery site.
