Protected Site (vSphere 5.0), DR Site (vSphere 5.1) and MRS. 5.1: I have problems?

Hi all
We must protect a production site that vSphere 5.0 as a virtualization infrastructure (very tres peu little VMS, say that 10 to 20).

Let's get vSphere 5.1 (for the recovery site) and 5.1 SRM (both, of course).

We are planning to use replication based on the Bay (ABR).

Now, we wonder how this situation can carry some problems or limitations.

For example, it must take into account the fact that, to the protection of the Site, all virtual machines are of type 8. So, can't they be upgraded to version 9 for backward compatibility with vSphere 5.0, you did?

To all those who are already working in a similar situation?
Any advice or suggestions are welcome.

Hello

vCenter and MRS. versions must be the same on both sites. Guests can be 5.0 or older still.

No problem to have hosts of your DR site to the more recent version than the protected site. Just do not upgrade the hardware version of your virtual machines (to version 9) after the failover, or you will not be able to failback.

Michael.

  • SRM protected site and recovery - different network

    Small question about SRM and networking.  MRS works correctly if my protected site includes a cisco 1000v while my recovery site just has a vSwitch?

    Someone would be able to provide some site for this?

    Thanks in advance.

    When you configure the mappings of Site Recovery Manager, you map port groups, calculate the resources (i.e. clusters), resource groups and folders from the site protected on the recovering site.

    When you switch, the virtual machine will migrate port groups that this is in the protected site, for groups of port mapped to corresponding to the recovering site.  As long as you protect virtual machines can access the resources they need, by sliding, port groups, they will be in when they move to the recovery site, so I don't think that you will have problems, Cisco 1000v or not.

    While I have never done a failover of a 1000V to no, I'm not "see why you would have problems as long as you get your physical and virtual network on the site of recovery after a disaster.

  • Do we need a server VR on the protected site?

    Hello

    I wonder if I need to have the same number of server RV on the site of two (protected and recovery) or just to the recovery site or SRM use server recovery to restore site VR?

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    VR servers on the protected site is indeed mandatory conservation. I would recommend having the same number of servers or you can hit some timeouts once you reverse the replication (first stage of restoration).

  • Messy recovery removed SRM site. SRM uninstalled protected site. Hosts & VM have errors.

    Hello

    We have made some tested with SRM, of which a part has been isolated from the recovery of the site and perform a recovery of VM.

    Because it was just a test, when we did we decommissioned the site recovery test environment and uninstalled SRM of the protected site.

    Because the recovering site has been deleted messy, we continue to get errors on hosts and virtual machines that they are unable to communicate with the recovering site.

    I thought that this would be taken care when SRM has been uninstalled, but appears not to be the case.

    For the virtual machine, they display the error:

    No connection to the server of VR: do not answer. warning

    On the host on which the virtual machine is located, there are follow-up errors.

    On the hostd.log:

    How to resolve these errors happen? I have to delete the GID State above?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Trent,

    Is what SRM/VR version? VRM is configured with externel DB or using embedded DB?

    Now that the recovering site has been decommissioned, VRM on the site source still think that the virtual machines are configured for replication.

    To clean the source VM configuration of replication, you must initialize VRMS with empty DB - it will remove the configuration of the replication of the VM from the source, as these configuration will cease to be present in the BD VRMS. To achieve this:

    Option A) power off and remove the old device of VR on the source site and deploy and configure a new.

    Option B) If you use VR 5.1 or 5.5 with embedded DB, it may be easier to simply click on the "Reset embedded DB" button in the UI VAMI.

    Option C) if VRMS has been configured with external DB, an alternative to redeploy the device would be to stop VRMS service (stop etc/init.d/hms), remove the old base VRMS, create a new and configure VRMS with the new UI VAMI DB.

    Once replication configurations have been deleted, you can click on "Cancel registration of vCenter Server" button in UI VAMI VRMS to unregister the extension of the VC and power off and remove the device. There will be leftovers.

    The site of recovery - data warehouses have been reformatted, but only VR devices is removed, you may need to clean records replication targets.

    Kind regards

  • I can't recover without the protected site is available

    I know is sounds silly, but if my protected site disappeared in a disaster, I'll be able to show my VMs protected the recovery site? Of course provided that I have the necessary infrastructure available in the recovering site.

    Thanks in advance

    Yes that's exactly what SRM is designed for - when designing your SRM environment, you will recover the size of the site enough to uspport workloads that you want to protect

  • "The remote server returned an error: (502) Bad Gateway" while matching Protected Site VC and recovery Site VC in VMware SRM

    Hi all

    I am trying to Setup VMware SRM 4.1 groups. I had configured hitachi usp vm storage based array replication in both sites.

    Now when I try to pair the two sites vCenter, I get an error at the end of the phase of matching as message "the remote server returned an error: (502) Bad Gateway ' on the protected site. But surprisingly, I am able to match both the vCenters on the recovering site.

    Please help me to get the problem.

    Thanks in advance,

    Run telnet server vCenter/SRM protected site to the recovering site server vCenter/SRM:

    Telnet IP_ADDRESS 80

    Telnet IP_ADDRESS 443

    You succeed?

    Hello

    Pretty silly question here...  I read that when you run the Recovery Plan SRM will equip all virtual machines protected on the protected site.  Is this the case?

    Dave

    Exactly.  In this case, workloads on the recovering site absolutely remains lit throughout the entire test or recovery.

  • vSphere 5.8 and 6 replication

    Hello

    I'm running a vCenter 6 on a site and my secondary site a vCenter 5.5

    I would like to know if I can connect with replication of vSphere. I know vrm 6 is not compatible with vcenter 5.5 and 5.8 vrm is not compatible with vcenter 6

    But vrm vrm-compatible 5.8 6?

    THX in advance for the answer.

    Cyril

    The only support is to upgrade your vcenter seconday to 6.0, and then upgrade your VRM on this site to 6.0/6.1

    * vSphere 5.8 replication only supports vCenter server 5.1 to 5.5

    * vSphere 6.0/6.1 replication support only vCenter Server 6

    * vCenter Server 6.0 Update 1 supports only vSphere 6.1 replication

    I've only seen problems when leaving a VRM on an older version of replication failures, connections between interrupted VRM and so forth, I don't think that same mixed VMware supported versions of VRM.

  • When I cannot connect to all my sites requiring a password, and then close browserand reopen browserand I open a session in the agianevenwhenIsay site remember me the facebook

    When I log on all my sites requiring a password and username for example Facebook and Gmail, then I close the browser with "remember me" selected it disconnects me Gmail and Facebook. So I log into these sites once again. This does not happen to me in Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.

    Firefox seems to save the password and username but disconnects me all my sites that requires a user name and a password after each session. This happen to me before an update of Firefox.

    The only way I found to get around this problem to keep Firefox open.

    Thank you

    The box ' remember me ' indicates the site to place a cookie in Firefox. Persistent means that the cookie is marked with a future expiration date to keep Firefox it between sessions.

    There are a lot of ways out of this. For example:

    • Visit the site in a private window
    • Change the default setting in Firefox to accept persistent cookies of all servers (first and third)
    • Set Firefox to clear the cookies at the stop
    • Install Add - ons that erase cookies
    • Use cleaning/security/privacy software external which clears the cookies from Firefox

    If you are not sure about your settings of cookies, see the Panel of the Privacy Options dialog box:

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > privacy

    If you have "conservation rules: don't forget history" then the cookies are accepted and stored.

    If you have a "conservation rules: use the custom settings for history" you can check your settings on cookies below this line.

    If you have "conservation rules: don't remember history" while you want to use full time private browsing and cookies are thrown between sessions.

    If the cookies settings are okay, and you would like some advice on your extensions, it would help if you could post a list of them. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:

    • Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the upper left corner, click the text of the copy to Clipboard button, then paste it into a response.

    After you have previewed, you will see there are additional information below the list of extensions that you can change them if you wish.
