How to Use the REST APIs to Create a Site Pairing

To create a site pairing, you must register your vSphere Replication to the Platform Services Controller (PSC) by using the VRMS Appliance Management Interface or the VRMS Appliance Configuration REST API Gateway.

Procedure

To login to the source site, make a POST request.
```
POST BASE_URL/api/rest/vr/API_VERSION/session
```
