After connecting Site Recovery Manager to VMware Live Recovery, you must activate VMware Live Recovery for the site pair.

Activating VMware Live Recovery is not supported if you have replications within a single vCenter Server (ROBO replications).

Procedure

  1. In the VMware Live Recovery cloud UI, find the tile for the site pair, and click Activate Live Recovery.
  2. On the Activate VMware Live Recovery page, confirm that you understand the conditions of activation, and click Activate.
    Note: If you are an existing Site Recovery Manager user and are currently using a legacy license key, the license will be removed and billing will be based on number of VMs you are protecting and the terms of your subscription. Once converted, you cannot return to the legacy license.

Results

This creates two Activation tasks which take approximately 5 minutes to complete. You can monitor both tasks in the activity log in the VMware Live Recovery console UI. Once completed, VMware Live Recovery is activated for the Site Pair. The Site Recovery user interface shows the VMware Live Site Recovery name.
