I installed and configured SRM in my production environment. I do not have a multi-site SRM/vCenter/vSphere "lab" environment. Can I safely execute a Recovery without impacting any production VMs?
Details:
I am using storage-layer replication. For my test, I am replicating a single data store between SRM sites. I have a single, test VM on the replicated data store.
I created a single Protection Group that contains my single, test VM.
I created a Recovery Plan that contains the single PG and test VM.
My concern lies in Inventory Mappings. I mapped a "production" resource group, folder structure and network port group from my protected site to my recovery site. Other, production VMs utilize the resource, folder and network. I assume when I execute a Recovery, SRM will only act upon the replication data store and the single VM. I assume the mapped resource, folder and network will not be altered in any way, so my production VMs will not be impacted.
Are my assumptions correct?
