vSphere Replication
In this recipe, we explore the vSphere Replication plugin.
Getting ready
You need the vSphere Replication deployed. You also need a second vCenter (not really required but it makes things more interesting) or a Cloud service such as VMware vCloud Air. If you want to use vCloud Air, check kb.vmware.com/kb/2083867 .

You need to have at least one replication site configured.
Last but not least, you need the vSphere Replication plugin (see the introduction to this chapter).
