Recovery plan mappings are an important part of disaster recovery, as they define where the VMs you want to recover are located (a specific vCenter on a protected site), and the recovery SDDC where you want the VMs to recover.
You must instruct
VMware Live Cyber Recovery how and when to restart recovered VMs and where to place them from a compute resource pool and network perspective. Specifically, you configure mappings for the following items in a
recovery plan for disaster recovery:
- vCenter and vCenter folders
- Compute resources
- Virtual networks
- IP addresses (optional)
Recovery plan mappings have a one to one relationship, which means if an item exists on the protected site, it also must exist on the failover site (the recovery SDDC). Fix any missing items on the failover before you run the recovery plan.
