Installing and Configuring
vSphere Replication to Cloud 3
Before you congure replications to the cloud, you must deploy the vSphere Replication appliance on the
source site and set up your environment to enable connections to the cloud.

Installing vSphere Replication for Disaster Recovery to Cloud
vSphere Replication is distributed as an OVF virtual appliance.
You deploy vSphere Replication by using the vSphere OVF deployment wizard.
Depending on the version of the vCenter Server on which you install vSphere Replication, the deployment
procedure might vary.
Table 3‑1. vSphere Replication Deployment Procedures
vCenter Server Version vSphere Replication Deployment Procedure
vCenter Server 5.1 See topic Deploy the vSphere Replication Virtual
Appliance in the vSphere Replication 5.1 Administration
document.
vCenter Server 5.5 See topic Deploy the vSphere Replication Virtual
Appliance in the vSphere Replication Administration
document.
I In these procedures, the steps for installing vSphere Replication on the target site concern
vCenter Server to vCenter Server replications. If you intend to use vSphere Replication only for replications
to cloud, do not aempt to install vSphere Replication on the target site. Your cloud provider ensures that
the target site is congured for replications to cloud.
