Creating a Replication Target

Create a replication target for the following scenarios:

• To identify resources that can be used for live mounts and to specify parameters for live mount operations, including live mounts that are performed for test failover.

• To enable testing failover operations for VMs using live mounts.

• To specify options for replication to a destination site.

• To configure Distributed Storage clusters as destination sites for replication.

Before You Begin

• Configure a hypervisor for the destination. For information, see the documentation for the virtualized platform that you are creating a hypervisor for. For example, for Google Cloud Platform, see Configuring Backups for Google Cloud Platform.

• To use Distributed Storage datastores as recovery targets for replication, you must set up Distributed Storage clusters as storage targets. For instructions, see Configuring Distributed Storage for DR.

• Review the list of options for the destination hypervisor:

  • Amazon

  • Azure Resource Manager

  • Azure Stack Hub

  • Azure Local

  • Google Cloud Platform

  • Hyper-V

  • OpenStack

  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • VMware

  • VMware with Distributed Storage
