Pairing protected and recovery sites

You must pair the protected and recovery sites created using your vSphere web client to enable Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) to discover the storage systems.

  • You must have installed Site Recovery Manager (SRM) on the protected and recovery sites.
  • You must have installed SRA on the protected and recovery sites.
  1. Double-click Site Recovery on the vSphere web client, and then click Sites.
  2. Click Objects > Actions > Pair Sites.
  3. In the Pair Site Recovery Manager Servers dialog box, enter the address of the protected site’s Platform Services Controller, and then click Next.
  4. In the Select vCenter Server option, do the following:
    1. Verify that the protected site’s vCenter Server appears as a matching candidate to pair.
    2. Enter the SSO administrative credentials, and then click Finish.
  5. If prompted, click Yes to accept the security certificates.

Both the protected and recovery sites will appear in the Objects dialog box.
