When you configure a recovery target for Hyper-V, provide Hyper-V specific values for the destination site.

General Options

Select vendor: Select Microsoft Hyper-V.
Application type: Select the type of operations that use this recovery target.
- Regular: To use this recovery target for live mount operations or virtual lab operations, select this option.

Expiration time: To enable a destination to be used for test failover operations, select Hours or Days and specify the amount of time that live mounted VMs can run before they expire.
No of VMs: Select the number of concurrent VMs that each user can run on the recovery target.
