Virtual Machines managed by VMware Aria Automation are associated with VMware Aria Automation cloud zones.
Each cloud zone resides on a VMware Aria Automation compute resource that is associated with a VMware Aria Automation cloud account. Based on that, the managed machines can be organized in different groups:
managed machines provisioned on the failed vCenter Server site.
managed machines provisioned on vCenter Server sites unaffected by the disaster event.
managed machines provisioned on other cloud accounts (Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, VMware Cloud Foundation, etc.).
Disaster recovery for VMware Aria Automation-managed machines provisioned on the failed vCenter Server site is not currently supported. Protecting such workloads and onboarding them in VMware Aria Automation after recovery to another vCenter Server site will make them usable only for simple machine day 2 operations. Their relationship with components like custom resources, networks, storage and others, built as part of the original cloud template on the protected vCenter Server site will be lost.
The VMware Aria Automation-managed machines provisioned on vCenter Server sites unaffected by the disaster event or machines provisioned in the cloud (Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, VMware Cloud Foundation, etc.) doesn’t require any additional steps.
