Prerequisites
Verify that you created a connection to a cloud virtual data center. See Connect to a Cloud Provider Site.
Procedure
1 Click the Configure tab, click vSphere Replication > Target Sites, and click the target network
settings icon .
If your user session to the cloud has expired, the Network Mappings wizard prompts you to type
your credentials.
2 From the drop-down menus, select a recovery network and a test network and click Next.
The drop-down menus display only the networks that are configured for a vCloud Director based
cloud.
3 On the Local recovery networks page, select the cloud networks from the left pane and select the
local recovery networks from the right pane. Click Add mappings and click Next.
Note You can select a virtual data center (VDC) network or a vApp network. When you select a
vApp network, the network mappings are configured only for the selected vApp. When you select a
VDC network, the network mappings are configured for all VMs in that network.
4 On the Local test networks page, select the cloud networks from the left pane and select the local test
networks from the right pane. Click Add mappings and click Next.
5 On the Ready to complete page, review your settings and click Finish.
What to do next
When you test a replication or perform a recovery operation, the vCloud Director based cloud
automatically attaches the virtual machine to the test or recovery network respectively.
Disable the Automatic Export of MAC Addresses During
Replication
By default, when you configure a virtual machine for replication to cloud, its NICs and MAC addresses are
copied automatically to the target site as part of the provisioning of the placeholder virtual machine.
If the test network is not isolated from the production network and these networks have common routing,
a test recovery of a replicated virtual machine might result in duplicate MAC addresses in your virtual data
center.
To avoid duplicate MAC addresses in your data center, you can disable the automatic copying of network
configurations from the source site to cloud sites.
Note Disabling the automatic copying of network configurations does not delete the configurations that
are already replicated to the target site. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2086292 .
