3 At the SRM Plug-in ID page, select Custom SRM Plug-in Identifier, provide information to identify
this Site Recovery Manager extension as the partner of a Site Recovery Manager Server instance on a
protected site, and click Next.
Option Description
SRM ID
Enter the same Site Recovery Manager ID as you provided for the
corresponding Site Recovery Manager Server instance on the protected
site. For example, if you set the Site Recovery Manager ID of the
Site Recovery Manager Server instance on the protected site to SRM-01, set
the Site Recovery Manager ID to SRM-01.
Organization
Enter a string of up to 50 ASCII characters to specify the organization that
created the extension.
Description
Enter a string of up to 50 ASCII characters to provide a description of the
extension.
4 Follow the prompts to complete the remainder of the installation.
What to do next
Repeat the procedure to install further Site Recovery Manager Server instances on the shared recovery site,
each with a Site Recovery Manager plug-in ID that matches a Site Recovery Manager Server instance on
another protected site. Each additional Site Recovery Manager Server instance that you install on the
recovery site connects to the vCenter Server instance. You can connect a maximum of 10
Site Recovery Manager Server instances to a single vCenter Server instance.
Connect the Site Recovery Manager Sites in a Shared Recovery Site
Configuration
In a shared recovery site configuration, you connect the Site Recovery Manager sites in the same way as for
a standard one-to-one configuration.
If you start the site connection from one of the protected sites, Site Recovery Manager uses the
Site Recovery Manager ID that you set during installation to connect to the corresponding
Site Recovery Manager Server instance on the recovery site.
If you start the site connection from one of the Site Recovery Manager Server instances on the shared
recovery site, and you try to connect to a protected site that has a Site Recovery Manager Server extension
with a different Site Recovery Manager ID, the connection fails with an error.
Prerequisites
n
You installed Site Recovery Manager Server on one or more protected sites.
n
You installed one or more Site Recovery Manager Server instances on a shared recovery site.
n
You assigned the same Site Recovery Manager extension ID to a Site Recovery Manager Server instance
on a protected site and to a Site Recovery Manager Server instance on the shared recovery site.
Procedure
1 Connect to the vSphere Web Client for a site, click Site Recovery > Sites, and select a site.
2 Right-click the site and select Pair Site.
