Overview
Details the manual resource allocation steps required for disaster recovery placeholder VMs.
If you enable disaster recovery for Catalyst Center on ESXi using the vSphere Site Recovery Manager (SRM), ensure that the required resources are reserved during failover. Complete this procedure to reserve the resources. When you configure vSphere replication on the virtual appliance, the recovery site’s VM (also called the placeholder VM) does not have a reservation configured on the main site. Configure the reservation manually after replication completes.
Procedure
| 1. | In the vSphere Client's navigation pane, click the secondary site's placeholder VM. |
|
| 2. | Click Actions, then choose Edit Settings. |
|
| 3. | With the Virtual Hardware tab selected, configure a 64-GHz (64-gigahertz) reservation for the CPU parameter and a 256-GB (256-gigabyte) reservation for the Memory parameter. |
|
| 4. | Click OK. |
