Summary
vSphere: Web Client (plugin)
Details
VMware SRM 8.1 introduced the new HTML5 based web interface. During the installation of SRM, a plugin labeled “Site Recovery” is installed in the vSphere Web Client and an icon labeled “Site Recovery” is displayed.

The new interface merges SRM and vSphere Replication interfaces to allow for easier navigation and improved management. Work has also gone into improving workflows and making the interface easier to use. For example, when configuring VMs for replication with vSphere Replication (VR), as part of the same protection workflow the VMs can be added to a new or existing Protection Group and a new or existing Recovery Plan.
