    Option
    Description
    Allow
    Site Recovery Manager
    to recover virtual machines that are managed by other solutions. The default value is false.
    vSphere Replication
    allows solutions to manage the replication of virtual machines. By default,
    Site Recovery Manager
    only recovers the virtual machines that it manages. To allow
    Site Recovery Manager
    to recover virtual machines whose replications are managed by other solutions, move the slider of
    vrReplication.allowOtherSolutionTagInRecovery
    to true.
    Keep older multiple point in time (PIT) snapshots during recovery. The default value is true.
    If you configure
    vSphere Replication
    to take PIT snapshots of protected virtual machines,
    Site Recovery Manager
    only recovers the most recent snapshot when you perform a recovery. To recover older PIT snapshots during recovery, use the slider to set the value of
    vrReplication.preserveMpitImagesAsSnapshots
    to true.
    Change the timeout period for reverse replication during reprotect operations
    Type a new value in the
    vrReplication.reverseReplicationTimeout
    text box. The value that you enter must be half of the timeout time that you want to set. The default value is 7200 and corresponds to a working synchronization timeout period of 14400 seconds. Change this value if you experience timeout errors when
    vSphere Replication
    reverses replication during reprotect operations.
    Change the timeout period for
    vSphere Replication
    synchronization operations. The default value is 7200.
    Enter a new value in the
    vrReplication.synchronizationTimeout
    text box. The value that you enter must be half of the timeout time that you want to set. The default value is 7200 and corresponds to a working synchronization timeout period of 14400 seconds. Change this value if you experience timeout errors when
    vSphere Replication
    synchronizes virtual machines on the recovery site.
