# Adding Microsoft Hyper-V Recovery Locations

To create a Microsoft Hyper-V recovery location, perform the following steps:

1. [Launch the New Recovery Location wizard](hyperv_location_launch.md).
2. [Specify a recovery location name and description](hyperv_location_name.md).
3. [Choose a recovery location type](hyperv_location_type.md).
4. [Specify the connection type of a target cluster](hyperv_location_connection.md).
5. [Choose backup servers, specify repositories and configure recovery options](hyperv_location_backup_server.md).
6. [Choose a target SCVMM server and cluster](hyperv_location_server.md).
7. [Configure network mapping](hyperv_location_network_mapping.md).
8. [Finish working with the wizard](hyperv_location_finish.md).

::: important

Before you start adding a Microsoft Hyper-V recovery location, consider the following limitations:

- CSV disks that you plan to use to recover VMs must have the *Online* status.
- All hosts that belong to the cluster where the recovered VMs will reside must be online and available.

Keep in mind that after you bring a Hyper-V object online or perform any infrastructure configuration changes, the changes may not appear in the Orchestrator UI immediately — the data synchronization process between Orchestrator and Microsoft Hyper-V may take up to 2 hours to complete.
