In the previous chapter, you 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, you will learn how replication actually works and which configuration tasks are involved with the replication of a virtual machine.
Here is what we will be covering:
Adding a remote site as a target
Configuring replication for a VM to the local/remote site
How does replication work?
Using replication seeds
Monitoring replication
Reconfiguring replication
Changing the target datastore
Pausing an ongoing replication
Stopping replication for a VM
Moving replication to another VR Server
Recovering virtual machines
Configuring a Failback for virtual machines
Using SRM with vSphere Replication
