Before you can use Site Recovery Manager on Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, you must connect the Site Recovery Manager Server instances on the protected and recovery sites. This is known as site pairing.

Procedure

  1. In the vSphere Client or the vSphere Web Client, click Site Recovery > Open Site Recovery.
  2. Click the New Site Pair button.
  3. Select the first site from the list. Enter the address of the Platform Services Controller for the Site Recovery Manager Server on the second site, provide the user name and password, 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 recovery 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 and the services you want to pair, and click Next.
  5. On the Ready to complete page, review the pairing settings, and click Finish.

Results

The protected and the recovery sites are connected. The pair appears under Site Pairs on the Site Recovery Home tab.
