RapidDR - How to recover when source site vcenter is not available

[mcalantec]

Hello All, 

Please I need information on how to recover when the source site vcenter is not available and we need to restore VMs at the DR site. I suspect we can use the manual method but want to know if RapidDR can be used. Creating a plan and executing it from the recovery site would make it faster and easier to recover. Any ideas please. Thanks

Hi mcalantec

Thank you for confirming the version of HPE SimpliVity Rapid DR version.

Creating a plan and executing it from the recovery site would make it faster and easier to recover.
HPE SimpliVity RapidDR is a standalone DR orchestration utility that facilitates the recovery of a failed set of virtual machines from a source environment to a recovery environment in the event of a site disaster.
RapidDR also facilitates restoring virtual machines into the source environment after the source environment is restored.
It is recommended that you create a disaster recovery plan and save it so that you can access it later in case a disaster occurs.
