- Deploy Site Recovery Manager at the protected and recovery sites
- Configure connections between the protected and recovery sites
- Establish virtual machine replication between the protected and recovery sites
- Create resource mapping between the protected and recovery sites
- Create protection groups containing the virtual machines to be protected
- Configure recovery plans to automate the recovery of virtual machines
- Test the recovery plan to ensure that it will operate as expected
