Compute Resources Mapping

Another important mapping for a recovery plan is defining which vCenter computing resources are used for failover.

Mappable vCenter compute objects:

• Clusters. If the cluster contains VMs, the cluster icon is highlighted in blue text to indicate a required plan mapping. (This color scheme applies to all required mappings.)
• Resource pools
• Standalone hosts (not in a cluster). Note that a standalone host can only be mapped to another standalone host.

Note: Regarding vCenter cluster names, "Cluster-1-<clusterIndex>" represents the name of the initial cluster when the recovery SDDC was first created.

If the SDDC that your clusters belong to is deleted, then any plans with mappings to clusters on that SDDC displays the target cluster names with an asterisk. For example,  "Cluster-*-<clusterIndex>".

Plan compliance reports indicate an error when clusters are mapped to a deleted SDDC, or if there is a mapping to a deleted cluster.
