Edit replica virtual machine
Select the options that will configure the replica virtual machine.
•
Enter the display name—Enter the name you would like to use to identify the replica virtual machine.
NOTE: Do not use any special or unique characters in the replica virtual machine name, including the
following:
# / \ : * ? ' " < > |
• Map replica virtual network adapters to target VSwitches—If there are multiple target networks, you can select
the network on the target to use.
•
Number of processors—Select the number of processors for the replica virtual machine.
NOTE: The Processors on the source server field displays the number of processors on the original
source virtual machine.
• Amount of memory—Enter the amount of memory to use for the replica virtual machine.
NOTE: The Memory on the source server field displays the amount of memory (in MB) on the original
source virtual machine.
When you are finished configuring the replica virtual machine, click Next.
NOTE: The target virtual machine is registered on the first replication loop and will remain registered. To
unregister a machine, you must click the
Delete Protection button and choose the Delete the associated replica
virtual machine
option.
Even though the target machine appears to be available on the ESX box, the target virtual machine should
never be powered on, removed, or otherwise modified while it is owned by an active job. Doing so will corrupt
the target virtual machine and break the protection job.
