Using vsphere replication to migrate VMs to another site

[orlando84]

Hello.

I have two sites: siteA and siteB with Vcenter on every site.

I want to use Vsphere replication to migrate VMs from siteA to siteB, so I have doubts:

-Should I install VRA on both sites or only on SiteB (remote site)?

-Should I have same version of vcenter and VRA on SiteA and SiteB?

I appreciate your help.

Thank you.

You should install VRA on boot sites.

-Should I have same version of vcenter and VRA on SiteA and SiteB?

Yes, you should same version of vcenter and VRA.

That was true, till VR 8.1 came along:

Support for multiple VMware vSphere on-premises versions. vSphere Replication 8.1 is compatible with VMware vSphere 6.0 Update 3 and later, including 6.7.
