Use the component user interfaces to implement the Site Protection and Disaster Recoveryfor VMware Cloud Foundation validated solution. What to read next Create a Virtual Machine Folder and Move the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle Virtual Machine in the Protected VMware Cloud Foundation InstanceYou create a virtual machine folder for the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle virtual machine in the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance. You later use this folder to configure folder mappings in Site Recovery Manager between the protected and recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instances. Create Virtual Machine Folders for SDDC Management Components in the Recovery VMware Cloud Foundation InstanceYou create virtual machine folders in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance for VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle, VMware Aria Automation, the VMware Aria Operations analytics cluster, and the clustered Workspace ONE Access. You use these virtual machine folders to configure folder mappings in Site Recovery Manager to facilitate the planned migration or recovery of the management components. Prepare Load Balancing Services for the VMware Aria Suite Components and the Clustered Workspace ONE Access Instance in the Recovery VMware Cloud Foundation InstanceTo provide load balancing services for the VMware Aria Suite components and the clustered Workspace ONE Access instance, you create and configure load balancing services for the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance. The PowerShell procedure gathers all required load balancing service settings from the protected instance and creates a fully configured standby load balancer in the recovery instance, including the standalone NSX Tier-1 gateway, the load balancer service, all service monitors, application profiles, server pools, and virtual servers. To avoid IP conflicts with the load balancer in the protected region, the load balancer in the recovery instance is in a disconnected state. Reconfigure the DNS, Domain Search, and NTP Settings on SDDC Management Components for Site Protection and Disaster Recovery for VMware Cloud FoundationTo provide name translation and resolution between the protected and recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instances for the SDDC management components, configure the domain search parameters and the NTP settings. Implementation of vSphere Replication for the Management DomainYou deploy and configure vSphere Replication to provide replication of critical virtual machine data from the protected to the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance and for failover or planned migration by using Site Recovery Manager. Implementation of Site Recovery Manager for the Management Domain for Site Protection and Disaster Recovery for VMware Cloud FoundationYou deploy and configure Site Recovery Manager to provide orchestrated disaster recovery protection of critical virtual machines from the protected to the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance. Configure Failover of the SDDC Management Components for the Management Domain for Site Protection and Disaster Recovery for VMware Cloud FoundationAfter you deployed and configured vSphere Replication and Site Recovery Manager in the protected and recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instances, prepare the management components in the SDDC for failover or planned migration. Replicate application-specific virtual machines by using vSphere Replication and create recovery plans for them by using Site Recovery Manager. To fully recreate the SDDC configuration of the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance if failover occurs, configure vSphere DRS rules for high availability of the management virtual machines. Implementation of Site Protection and Disaster Recovery Components for Virtual Infrastructure Workload Domains for VMware Cloud FoundationYou follow the process described below, adapt it to your own VI workload domain and refer to the VI workload domain values in the respective VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook when implementing site protection and disaster recovery for workloads in the VMware Cloud Foundation VI workload domain.
