Reconfiguring Replications to
the Cloud 5
You can reconfigure cloud replications to change the quiescing method for the guest operating system,
the RPO, the network compression, and the retention of point in time instances.
Reconfigure a Replication to Cloud
You reconfigure a replication to change the RPO settings, the number of replication instances to keep, or
the quiescing method that is applied when synchronizing the replication source virtual machine to your
cloud organization.
Cloud replications appear in the Forward Replications list on the Replications tab in Site Recovery.
Procedure
1 Log in to the vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client.
2 On the home page, click Site Recovery and click Open Site Recovery.
3 On the Site Recovery home page, select the site pair to the cloud provider site and click View
Details.
4 Click the Replications tab and click Forward replications.
5 Select the replication you want to reconfigure from the list and click the Reconfigure icon.
6 On the Replication settings page of the Reconfigure Replication wizard, use the RPO slider to set
the acceptable period for which data can be lost if of a site failure occurs.
7 (Optional) To save multiple replication instances that can be converted to snapshots of the source
virtual machine during recovery, select Enable point in time instances and adjust the number of
instances to keep.
Note You can keep up to 24 instances for a virtual machine. For example, if you configure
vSphere Replication to keep 6 replication instances per day, the maximum number of days you can
set is 4 days.
