Site Recovery Manager in a Single Site Topology with a Shared
Platform Services Controller
You can deploy Site Recovery Manager Server so that both instances connect to vCenter Server instances
that share a Platform Services Controller.
In this configuration, both vCenter Server instances connect to the same Platform Services Controller within
a single site.
IMPORTANT When the vCenter Server instances on the protected and recovery sites share the same
Platform Services Controller, the Platform Services Controller becomes a single point of failure. If the
Platform Services Controller goes offline, neither of the protected and recovery sites can function, and
recovery is impossible. This configuration is not appropriate for disaster recovery, and is not recommended.
