The VMware Live Site Recovery Configuration Import/Export Tool includes options that you can use to import or export configuration data.
You can also use the options to change the delay between retries when importing virtual machine recovery settings, to customize the number of retries, to override the network mappings with the mappings from the XML file, and so on.
Note: You can use Service Account authentication to import or export data from
VMware Live Site Recovery 9.0. You cannot use solution user authentication to import or export configuration data from
VMware Live Site Recovery 9.0. Solution user authentication is supported for
VMware Live Site Recovery 8.6.x and earlier.
