In the previous chapter, we learned how to deploy the components required to form a vSphere Replication environment. Now, it is time to take the discussion further. In this chapter, we learn how replication actually works and which configuration tasks are involved with the replication of a virtual machine.
We will be covering the following topics:
Adding a remote site as a target
Configuring the replication of a VM to the local site
Configuring the replication of a VM to the remote site
How does replication work?
Using the replication seeds
Monitoring a replication
Reconfiguring a replication
Changing the target datastore
Pausing an ongoing replication
Synchronizing data immediately
Stopping a replication for a VM
Moving a replication to another VR Server
Recovering virtual machines
Configuring a Failback for virtual machines
Configuring SRM to leverage vSphere Replication
