NetApp Disaster Recovery supports migrating VMware applications from the source to a secondary site. You can use the migration capability if, for example, you have infrastructure changes so that the target environment can assume production operations.

Tip After you create the replication plan, set the recurrence in the wizard, and initiate migration, Disaster Recovery performs a verification every 30 minutes that the migration is progressing according to the plan. You can monitor the progress in the Job Monitor page.
Note Migration isn't currently supported for Kubernetes-based workloads.
