After you install the Orchestrator plug-in for Site Recovery Manager, you must configure the connection between the vRealize Orchestrator instance and the vCenter Server instance on your Site Recovery Manager site. For information about how to configure the connection with your vCenter Server, see the VMware vRealize Orchestrator 8.5 documentation.

After you install the Orchestrator plug-in for Site Recovery Manager, you can find the Site Recovery Manager workflows in the vSphere Web Client:

1. Go to vRealize Orchestrator > Workflows view in the vSphere Web Client.
2. Expand the hierarchy to navigate to the vRO Servers > vco_server > Library > SRM folder.

Before you can run the Site Recovery Manager workflows, you must configure the plug-in to work with your Site Recovery Manager by selecting Library > SRM > Configuration and running the following workflows:
