Automated Operations That VMware vRealize Orchestrator Plug-In for vSphere Replication Provides

The VMware vRealize Orchestrator plug-in for vSphere Replication extends automation capabilities for certain vSphere Replication operations.

The vSphere Replication plug-in includes VMware vRealize Orchestrator actions, workflows, and scripting objects to expose selected elements of the vSphere Replication API to workflows. With the plug-in you can automate the configuration of replication for virtual machines, run migrations and real recoveries, manage local and remote site, and synchronize virtual machine data.

The plug-in provides actions and workflows to configure and manage replications:

• Configure a forward replication for virtual machines to a target vCenter Server or cloud site.
• Configure a reverse replication for virtual machines from a target vCenter Server or cloud site.
• Pause, resume, or stop a forward replication for virtual machines to a target vCenter Server or cloud site.
• Pause, resume, or stop a reverse replication for virtual machines from a target vCenter Server or cloud site.

The plug-in provides actions and workflows to run recovery:

• Run a planned migration to or from a target cloud site.
• Run a real recovery to or from a target cloud site.
• Run a test clean to and from a target cloud site.
• Run a test recovery to and from a target cloud site.

The plug-in provides actions and workflows to manage remote sites:

• Pair the local site with a target vCenter Server or cloud site.
• Register a standalone organization, cloud, or vCenter Server site.
• Unregister standalone organization, cloud, or vCenter Server site.

The plug-in provides actions and workflows to synchronize virtual machine data:

• Full synchronization to a target vCenter Server or cloud site.
• Offline synchronization to or from a target cloud site.
• Offline synchronization to a target vCenter Server site.
• Synchronize a replication to or from a target cloud site.
• Synchronize a replication to a target vCenter Server site.

The plug-in provides actions and workflows to retrieve information about the status or configuration details of replications. You can use the results of the workflows as parameters in other workflows:

• Retrieve the status of a replication.
• Retrieves the configuration details of a replication.
• Retrieves a list of all the incoming or outgoing replications from a vCenter Server.
