The Orchestrator plug-in for Site Recovery Manager software is distributed as an Orchestrator application file.
The vRealize Orchestrator Plug-In for Site Recovery Manager software requires a supported vRealize Orchestrator version and Site Recovery Manager 8.6.0.1. For more information about supported releases of vRealize Orchestrator, see the VMware Product Interoperability Matrices. For information on installing vRealize Orchestrator, see the vRealize Orchestrator documentation.
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 8.10 documentation.
After you install the Orchestrator plug-in for Site Recovery Manager, you can find the Site Recovery Manager workflows in the vRealize Orchestrator UI:
-
Go to Library > Workflows
-
Search for the workflow by name or switch to tree view from the top right icon. In tree view you can find the workflows under 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:
-
Run the Configure Local Sites workflow.
-
Run the Configure Remote Site workflow.
-
Run the Login Remote Site workflow.
You must run the Login Remote Site workflow once per Orchestrator Client session to log in to Site Recovery Manager on the remote site. The Orchestrator automatically logs out of Site Recovery Manager when you log out of the Orchestrator client.
