the protected and recovery sites. This is known as site pairing.
Prerequisites

Verify that you installed Site Recovery Manager Server instances at the protected and recovery sites.
n
If you did not select the default plug-in ID when you installed Site Recovery Manager Server, you must
have assigned the same custom plug-in ID to the Site Recovery Manager Server instances on each of the
sites.
Procedure
1 Connect to vSphere Web Client on one of the sites, and select Site Recovery > Sites.
2 Right-click a site and select Pair Site.
3 Enter the address of the Platform Services Controller for the Site Recovery Manager Server on the
remote site, and click Next.
The address that you provide for the Platform Services Controller must be an exact match of the of
address that you provided when you installed Site Recovery Manager Server on the remote site.
IMPORTANT To facilitate IP address changes in your infrastructure, provide a fully qualified domain
name (FQDN) whenever possible, rather than an IP address.
4 Select the vCenter Server instance with which Site Recovery Manager Server is registered on the remote
site, provide the vCenter Single Sign-On username and password, and click Finish.
5 If prompted, verify each of the certificates from the local Platform Services Controller and
vCenter Server, and the Platform Services Controller, vCenter Server, and
Site Recovery Manager Server on the remote site, and click Yes to accept them.
The protected and recovery sites are connected. The remote site appears under Sites in the
