# 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
