As part of disaster recovery, you can protect VMware Aria Automation components and related services.

The disaster-recovery procedure depends on the VMware products used in the VMware Aria Automation deployment and the required functionality after recovery.

To operate the product after recovery, VMware Aria Automation and VMware Aria Automation components must be working as expected. To ensure that you can configure and manage VMware Aria Automation easily, you need a working instance of VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager after recovery.

Caution:

For disaster-recovery of Identity Manager cluster deployments configured outside of VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager, check the official Identity Managerdocumentation

If you plan to protect VMware Aria Automation components and related services, such as load balancing and DNS records, you must configure these services in the recovery vCenter Server site.

Important:

Changing the DNS names for the VMware Aria Automation virtual appliance nodes is not supported. Changing the IP address is suppored from version 8.5.1 or later.
