On the main vSphere Web Client home page, a new icon has been created labeled vSphere
Replication. Within this section you can monitor existing replication jobs and coni gure target
sites. Most of the actual coni guration happens when you want to set up a VM for replication.
Adding additional sites is as simple as deploying another vSphere Replication Virtual Appliance
and then adding it into Target Sites. For simplicity, let's assume we only have a single site and
we want to coni gure a local replication of a VM:
1.
If the vSphere Web Client is not already running, launch it and connect to a vCenter
Server instance.
2.
Open the Hosts And Clusters or VMs And Templates view.
3.
When you right-click a VM, there is now an additional menu at the bottom labeled
vSphere Replication. Within this menu, select Coni gure Replication as shown in
Figure 7.36.

only site is the local one.
5.
The next screen allows you to choose a replication server appliance. Select Auto-Assign
and click Next.
