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.
If several Site Recovery Manager Server instances are registered with this vCenter Server instance,
Site Recovery Manager connects to the Site Recovery Manager Server instance that has the
corresponding Site Recovery Manager ID.
5 Repeat Step 1 to Step 4 to configure the site pairing for all of the sites that use the shared recovery site.
6 (Optional) In the vSphere Web Client for the shared recovery site, click Site Recovery > Sites.
All of the Site Recovery Manager Server instances that connect to vCenter Server on the shared recovery
site appear in the list. All of the Site Recovery Manager Server instances on the protected sites that are
paired with instances on the shared recovery site also appear.
7 (Optional) Select a site in the list and click the Summary tab to see information about the remote site
that this site is paired with.
Use Array-Based Replication in a Shared Recovery Site Configuration
You can use array-based replication with Site Recovery Manager in a shared recovery site configuration in
the same way as you do in a standard one-to-one configuration.
To use array-based replication with Site Recovery Manager in a shared recovery site configuration, you
must install storage arrays and storage replication adapters (SRA) on each of the protected sites. Each
protected site can use a different type of storage array.
Each protected site can either share the same storage on the shared recovery site, or you can allocate storage
individually for each protected site. You can use storage from multiple vendors on the shared recovery site,
as long as they correspond to storage that you use on the respective protected sites. You must install the
appropriate SRA for each type of storage that you use on the shared recovery site.
For information about protection and recovery limits when you use array-based replication with
Site Recovery Manager in a shared recovery site configuration, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2119336.
Prerequisites
n
You installed Site Recovery Manager in a shared recovery site configuration.
n
You connected the protected sites with the shared recovery site.
Procedure

2 Install the appropriate SRAs on Site Recovery Manager Server systems on the protected sites.
3 Install the appropriate SRAs on Site Recovery Manager Server systems on the shared recovery site.
4 Configure the array managers on the protected sites and on the shared recovery sites.
5 Configure the mappings from the resources on the protected sites to resources on the shared recovery
site and configure the placeholder datastores.
