You 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.

This guidance instructs that you implement vSphere Replication and Site Recovery Manager simultaneously in the two VMware Cloud Foundation instances. As an alternative, you can implement vSphere Replication and Site Recovery Manager for the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance after you first implement the products in the protected instance.

Prerequisites

Fulfill the prerequisites for installing Site Recovery Manager as described in Prerequisites for Implementation of Site Protection and Disaster Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation.
