Manager works across the protected and recovery sites. During the Site Recovery Manager product
evaluation it is recommended that, where possible and without impact to your production environment,
failures or conditions be created in the protected and recovery site that will result in the generation of Site

Site Recovery Manager is monitoring both the protected and recovery site correctly.
