Prepare the target environment for disaster recovery of VMware VMs or physical servers to Azure

This article describes how to prepare your target Azure environment to start replicating VMware virtual machines or physical servers to Azure.

Prerequisites

The article assumes:

• You have created a Recovery Services Vault on Azure portal to protect your source machines
• You have setup your on-premises environment to replicate the source VMware virtual machines or physical servers to Azure.

Prepare target

After completing the Step 1: Select Protection goal and Step 2: Prepare Source, you are taken to Step 3: Target

1. Subscription: From the drop-down menu, select the Subscription that you want to replicate your virtual machines or physical servers to.
2. Deployment Model: Select the deployment model (Classic or Resource Manager)

Based on the chosen deployment model, a validation is run to ensure that you have at least one virtual network in the target subscription to replicate and failover your virtual machine or physical server to.

Once the validations complete successfully, click OK to go to the next step.

If you don't have a virtual network, you can create one by clicking the + Network button at the top of the page.
