Step 3: Set up inventory mapping
Inventory mappings establish recovery site defaults for the virtual machine folders, networks, and resource
pools to which recovered virtual machines are assigned. You create these mappings at the protected site, and
they apply to all virtual machines in all protection groups at that site.
Ensure that a placeholder datastore has been created at the recovery site in order to complete this step
datastore should be accessible to all hosts in the recovery cluster. It should not be replicated and can be
relatively small.
Inventory mappings are optional, but recommended. They provide a convenient way to specify how resources at
the protected site are mapped to resources at the recovery site. These mappings are applied to all members of a
protection group when the group is created, and can be reapplied as needed (for example, when new members
are added). If you do not create them, you must specify mappings individually for each virtual machine that you
networks, folders, and resource pools. In addition, you can specify a placeholder datastore at the recovery site
that will hold shadow VMs that are used as placeholders for VMs that will be protected.
Do not specify resource mappings for resources that are not used by protected virtual machines.
