Pairing the primary site and the secondary site

The first task after installing SRA that must be completed is pairing the primary site to the secondary

site. You can accomplish this task by selecting the Configure link next to the Connection header under

the Protection Setup section from the Site Recovery window.

1. In the Site Recovery window, click Configure. The Connect to Remote Site dialog appears.

2. To establish the site roles (protected and recovery), perform the following steps:

a. Select Remote Site Information.

b. Enter the address and the port of the recovery site vCenter server. If the certificate error

screen appears, either click OK or fix the certification problems.

NOTE:

Certificate configuration is beyond the scope of this document.

c. Select Authentication.

d. Enter the administrator user name and password for the recovery site vCenter.

3. Click Finish to complete the connections. The dialog boxes requesting the user name and the

password might appear at both sites.

4. To complete the pairing, enter the user name and the password.
