Configure a Replication From Cloud
You can use vSphere Replication to configure a replication from cloud to your local site.
If your local site was recovered from a major breakdown and you need to restore it, or you cannot
configure a reverse replication, you can configure a new replication from cloud to synchronize data from
cloud to your local site.
Note You can configure a replication from cloud for only one virtual machine in a vApp.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the cloud site is available and connected to the local site. See Connect to a Cloud Provider
Site.
n
Verify that the list of incoming replications does not contain a replication for the virtual machine that
you want to configure for replication from cloud. See Stop a Replication From Cloud.
Procedure
1 Use the vSphere Web Client to connect to your local site.
2 Navigate to the vSphere Replication tab under Monitor, and click Incoming Replications.
3 Above the list of incoming replications, click the Configure replication from cloud provider icon
( ).
The Configure Replication From Cloud Provider wizard opens.
4 On the Source site page, select the cloud provider site where the virtual machine is located.
n
If you have created a connection to the cloud provider, select the source virtual data center from
the list and click Next.
If the status of the connection is Not authenticated, you must provide credentials to
authenticate with the cloud organization.
n
If you have not created a connection to the cloud provider, click New Provider VDC, click Next,
and follow the on-screen prompts to connect to the target cloud organization.
5 On the Available VMs page, select the virtual machine that you want to replicate.
You can select only one virtual machine from a vApp.
6 Accept the automatic assignment of a vSphere Replication server or select a particular server on the
local site and click Next.
