Operation Manual

You have to select at least one VM for replication. After you make your selection, click Next to finish

the first step and continue further on.

14.1.2 Where to Replicate

In the second step of the New Replication Task wizard you should define the location for VM

replicas. Here, you have to first define the ESX(i) Host by selecting one from the drop-down list.

Then, select the Resource Pool on the destination ESX(i) Host and destination datastore.

New Replication Task, step 2 "Select location and datastore for replica"

Define the Replica name's Suffix to be used when creating the VM replica. The default replica name

is "%Machine_Name%_vmpreplica", where "%Machine_name%" is the original VM name which is

being replicated, and "_vmpreplica" is the Replica name's Suffix. If a VM with such a name already

exists, you'll get a warning prompting you to change the name suffix.

Upon making the selection, click Next to proceed to the third step.

14.1.3 When to Replicate

In the third step of the New Replication Task wizard, you should define the schedule of replicating

your virtual machines. There are two options available – creating a single time replication task (“Do

not schedule, run on demand”) and weekly scheduling. The default value is "Create replicas every 1

week(s) on Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat at 12:00:00." In this step, you can change the default

value or select “Do not schedule, run on demand” which means that the replication task will not be

executed on schedule. It will be started either right after creating your replication task or can be run

manually from the Tasks view.
