Examples

Example 1

Add-vSphereReplication -sddcManagerAFqdn sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -sddcManagerAUser administrator@vsphere.local -sddcManagerAPass VMw@re1! -sddcManagerBFqdn sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -sddcManagerBUser administrator@vsphere.local -sddcManagerBPass VMw@re1! -vmName xint-vrslcm01 -recoveryPointObjective 15
