DR Sizing as per Primary

[mytechdocs36]

Hi Team,

if I have a vmware setup of 6 VMs at DC, do i need to create 6 VMs on cloud, planned with SRM 5.0, or should i go with Managed dedicated X86 Server with required cores and CPU? (then automatically all VMs will use that space to create the VMDK files.)

Also do i need to have SRM license on both the sides or only one side.

please share any link or PDF i can read.

thx,  i mean that when I am planning with two options.

1. size same VM as per primary from cloud

2. or i have a dedicated X86 server, - should i provision the required core and mem as per primary.

so VMDk files replicated from DC will use the space to place the VMDk files at DR site.
