Few questions before implementing vSphere Replication

Hello everyone,

I am about to implement vSphere replication and I have few questions :

1- Can I replicate VM to DR site with different IP/hostname?

2-Can I use VR with SR to obtain active-active or hot-hot datacenters?\

3-when I use vSphere Replication, the replica VM can be powered on and has an access to network?

4-If I want to assign WAN port for VR, how is it going? I mean WAN link to connect VR appliance to VR appliance or should VR in main site connected to all ESXis in DR site?

Thanks in advance

1. You can change the VMs IP and hostname after recovering it

2. The minimum RPO with VR is 5 mins.

3. When you recover it

4. See the documentation

I recommend reading the documentation (VMware vSphere Replication) on VR and seeing the FAQ (Storage and Availability Technical Documents ) if you have more questions
