To configure vSphere Replication to replicate virtual machines in a disaster recovery environment, follow the steps below:
1. Configure the source vSphere environment:
a. Install and configure vSphere Replication on the source vSphere environment.
b. Configure the replication traffic between the source and target vSphere environments.
c. Create a replication group and set the replication options for each virtual machine that needs to be replicated.
1. Configure the target vSphere environment:
a. Install and configure vSphere Replication on the target vSphere environment.
b. Create a placeholder virtual machine on the target vSphere environment for each virtual machine that will be replicated from the source vSphere environment.
c. Verify the target vSphere environment is ready to receive replicated virtual machines.
1. Monitor and manage replications:
a. Use vSphere Replication to monitor the replication status of each virtual machine.
b. Test the replication process with regular failover testing.
c. Troubleshoot and resolve any issues that arise during the replication process.
By following these steps, you can configure vSphere Replication to replicate virtual machines in a disaster recovery environment and ensure that your critical workloads are protected in the event of a disaster.
