VMware Site Recovery Manager REST API Gateway provides an API access to the Site Recovery Manager functionality and allows you to programmatically perform various Site Recovery Manager tasks without the use of the Site Recovery user interface.
System Requirements to use the Site Recovery Manager REST API Gateway
To use the public REST APIs you must have an installation of Site Recovery Manager 8.6 or later.
Before you run any REST APIs to or from a target site, verify that you have created a session to the desired vCenter Server instance.
Note: In a federated environment with linked
vCenter Server instances, when you log in to the REST API gateway local site this will automatically log you in to the remote site. You do not have to make a
POST /remote-session request. It is not possible to log in to the remote site with a different user name.
