Veeam Recovery Orchestrator (VRO) requires the creation of vSphere Tags<\/strong> to tag the VMware objects<\/strong> at the DR Site used to orchestrate DR events.<\/p>\n

These Tags are assigned to the resources such as Host and Datastore<\/strong> VRO will use to run VMs at DR Site when the failover operation is triggered.<\/p>\n

Create VMware vSphere Tags<\/h2>\n

Login to the VMware vSphere infrastructure<\/strong> at DR Site to create the required tags.<\/p>\n

From the vSphere Client, select Settings > Tags & Custom Attributes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Assign a Category Name<\/strong> (e.g. Resources DR Site<\/em>) and select the Associable Object Types<\/strong>. Host<\/strong> and Datastore<\/strong> are the objects used by VRO. Click Create<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The created category.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now create a Tag to identify Hosts<\/strong>. Assign a Name<\/strong> (e.g. Host DR<\/em>) and select the Category<\/strong> previously created (e.g. Resources DR Site<\/em>). Click Create<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Create a Tag also to identify Datastores<\/strong>. Assign a Name<\/strong> (e.g. Datastore DR<\/em>) and select the Category<\/strong> previously created (e.g. Resources DR Site<\/em>). As a result two tags are available to identify Hosts and Datastores available at DR Site.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Assign Tag to Hosts<\/h4>\n

In the vSphere Client, select the Host configured in the DR infrastructure and in the Tags<\/strong> section assign the correct tag to the host.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Assign Tag to Datastores<\/h4>\n

Select the Datastore to use with VRO configured in the DR infrastructure. In the Tags<\/strong> section assign the created tag to the datastore.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Collect data details with Veeam ONE<\/h2>\n

Once the vSphere objects have been tagged, VRO needs to collect also the components details<\/strong> used to create Recovery Locations and Recovery Plans.<\/p>\n

In the virtual machine where Veeam Recovery Orchestrator was installed, open the Veeam ONE console and go to Configuration<\/strong> area. In the Data Collection<\/strong> section, click the Start<\/strong> button to collect the components defined in Veeam Recovery Orchestrator (vCenter Server and Veeam Backup & Replication<\/a> Servers).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

System scans the environment to collect data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After a few seconds the data collection process completes and the Status<\/strong> is reported as Success<\/strong>. Under Details<\/strong> you can see the collected data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Veeam Recovery Orchestrator<\/a> is now ready to be configured with Recovery Locations and Recovery Plans.<\/p>\n

Part 3<\/a> will cover the creation of Recovery Locations<\/strong> used to run workloads during a failover operation.<\/p>\n
