Following are the deployment prerequisites for recovery to vCloud Director:
-
Configure vCloud Director to have unique BIOS UUID for all the virtual machines when instantiating from a vApp template. By default, all the virtual machines that are created when you deploy a vApp template are assigned the same BIOS UUID. To change this default behavior, follow the steps given in the VMware knowledge bank article:
-
Set the value of the disk.enableUUID configuration parameter as True for the following templates uploaded to catalog:
-
VRP_VAPP_TEMPLATE
-
Resiliency Platform Data Mover
-
-
Deploy the Resiliency Manager and IMS together in a vApp. This vApp will function as a Master Management vApp.
-
Deploy the Replication Gateway in a vApp other than the one in which you have deployed the Resiliency Manager and IMS.
-
Deploy the Replication Gateway in the Organization where you want to migrate the virtual machines from your on-premises data center.
