Site-aware configuration is essential for disaster recovery and high availability by enabling optimal distribution of resources and nodes across physical locations (*sites*). Misconfiguration or environmental issues can lead to problems including incorrect resource placement, dependency handling failures, connectivity issues, or impaired disaster recovery. You can use this article to identify and resolve common site configuration issues.
