Following is the guide you can use to configure ASR

Good! Thats it.

Just pay attention on the configuration of the CS and PS (Configuration Server and Process Server).

Depending on the size of the environment and the number of machines it will migrate, you will need more resources in the VM such as memory, processing and even storage.

And another detail, when doing the FB (Fail Back), has a disk space in Vm which is the CS / PS, because you will need a retention partition.

Read the above Guide that has everything described.
