Disaster Recovery for VMware View and vCloud Director

Chris Colotti has written detailed instructions on vCloud Director Disaster Recovery

Creating DR solutions for vCloud Director poses multiple challenges. These challenges all have a common theme. That is the automatic creation of objects by VMware vCloud Director such as resource pools, virtual machines, folders, and portgroups. vCloud Director and vCenter Server both heavily rely on management object reference identifiers (MoRef ID’s) for these objects. Any unplanned changes to these identifiers could, and often will, result in loss of functionality. vSphere Site Recovery Manager currently does not support protection of virtual machines managed by vCloud Director.
