PS4100 EQL replication to secondary site

• Secondary Site Replication

  We are trying to reproduce our Vmware environment complete on a secondary site through Site Recovery Manager (probably to a third party of data center on the cloud)

  Of course, we could use equivalent RAM, storage space on secondary site but are there other equipment requirements that I should be aware? For example, the secondary site hosts would need to have the same set of processors as the guests in the main site? And it will be attached to the same base VCA as main site?

  In addition, trying to decide if the built-in replication would be enough or do we need to buy a third-party replication product. Can anyone offer advice? Our environment is a small, around 20-30 VMs which will include 2-4 SQL servers, 2 Exchange servers, 2 domain controllers and different application servers. Any advice or pointers to good greatly appreciated reading materials!

  See you soon

  Hello

  No, you don't need material identical to your site of Dr. Virtual Machine doesn't care about underlying hardware (in the worst cases additional restart will be necessary for some feedback more older if operating systems change the provider of CPU).

  VCA is not necessary between sites. It is necessary within the ESX cluster, when CPU of servers is different and only allow not of vMotion. So if all ESX servers in the site of DR have identical CPUs, you must CVS at all.

  Take in VM hardware version account in order to avoid the situation where your main site VMs hardware version can be supported by the hosts of the DR site.

  If you plan to implement SRM 4.x, replication based on the Bay is the only option. This means that you need to configure replication on your storage array. To do this, Bay supported storage and installation of SRA (storage replication adapter) written by the storage provider.

  With vSphere SRM5 replication has been introduced, that replicates the VM between ESX hosts. All guests must be ESXi 5. Bandwidth required depends on the amount of change in your environment.

• Can I use vSphere replication for VMs on a logical unit number that is doing table replication to DR site

  Hi guys, could not find the answer on any Docs/KBs. With the implementation of normal SRM, I know you can use a mixture of the two, while a virtual machine is not protected by the table and vR.

  I need to make a site of NEW Dr. C while maintaining the current Bay of NETAPP on protection SRM of Site B.

  Will this be an approach to support? Step 0 is required?

  0 > get my guys to storage to stop replication on LUN - XYZ table (IF ANY) on

  1 > delete virtual machines on LUN XYZ of SRM existing Protection groups.

  2 > use vSphere replication to replicate the VMs who live on the LUN - XYZ

  3 > repeat the process until all LUNS have been treated like that.

  It should work without problem. I would recommend just a change in order to:

  1 (also remove the logic of the PG unit number), 0, 2, 3

  If you want to leave the computer on the same LUN virtual then step 0 is not necessary, but recommended (see below). If want to let the replication logic unit number and can just svmotion the VM, which would work as well.

  From a data protection perspective, as long as you understand the potential complications, I recommend you actually starting with step 2. Technically, you don't want to not have the same virtual machine reproduced several times, in this case since you are in transition, and if you understand that retrieve the VM using a method will break the other, and you can not the virtual machine protection with the two (VR & ABR) in SRM, you should be ok.

  Hope it makes sense. If this is not the case, let me know.

• Replication between two sites with essential Kit more

  Hi all

  can anyone confirm that the following scenario is possible?

  A basic Kit Plus - replication - another essential Kit Plus
  3 Hosts                                                                      Other 3 Hosts

  In other words: is it possible to replicate virtual machines between two sites, each managed by a single essential Kit Plus (outside the bounds of the CV)?

  I'm sure that is correct, but I want to be sure.

  Thank you guys!

  Alex

  Yes, you can use replication between vCenters thus vSphere. To do that you would like to devices VR is deployed to each vCenter and then connect them. How to do this is described in the VR installation and config and administrative documents.

  BTW, my name is GS.

  See you soon!

• Replication of hot Site DR with SRM

  Hi gurus,

  I am designing the SRM solution to a client.

  The customer needs to reproduce some vm from main Site to the Site of DR.

  Some other vm of the DR Site to the primary Site.

  In my opinions we can do with 2 packs of SRM for each site.

  I need your advice on how to the vCenter will identify the protected Site and recovery at the same time.

  This is a fairly common scenario.

  You install RS on both sites, configure replication for necessary VMs and / or LUNS in the desired direction, in case of array level replication install and set up authorities in securities on both sites and then set up groups for protection and recovery for your VMS protected plans.

  You need not necessarily "2 packs of SRM for each site. Usually you just need a single vCenter SRM and unique example in each site.

  Suppose we have A with VMs vmA1, vmA2, and vmA3 and site B with VMs vmB1, vmB2 and vmB3. Are being replicated virtual machines from site A to site B and vice versa.

  For protection:

  -protection for their virtual machines are managing vCenter-a and RS - A, SRM - B holds for VMs vmA1, A2 and A3 recovery plans

  -protection for virtual machines B are managing vCenter-B and RS - B, RS - A holds recovery for VMs vmB1, B2, and B3 plans

  If customer policy explicitly states that extracted protected site of the VMs should not be started under vCenter even (i.e. If site B fails and VMs vmB1, B2 and B3 must be restarted to site A, customer does not want to live under vCenterA for a reason any) then this would require 2 vCenter and 2 instances of MRS server in each site. Normally, you should be able to avoid this, because that increases the cost and complexity of managing (thinking of buying 2 licenses vCenter for each site). If there are strict insulation requirements, in general, you should be able to satisfy them by using two pools of resources, different vSwitches / exchanges, proper network segmentation, different data stores and possibly multiple clusters.

  I hope this helps.

• SRM - excluding the OS data replication store

  Hi people,

  I had a requirement as one of the application to exclude OS data replication store after the initial replication of secondary site.

  So first I want to know is it possible to exclude replication to secondary site data store BONES as VMware SRM (by SRA) control replication?

  If it is possible is recommended to exclude the data replication OS store?

  NOTE:

  Operating system data store will be later replication when some manual changes committed in the ms (as the update, changes in demand, etc.)

  Thanks in advance...

  Kind regards

  Hello

  I had a requirement as one of the application to exclude OS data replication store after the initial replication of secondary site.

  Are there other virtual machines on this data store that should be protected?

  So first I want to know is it possible to exclude replication to secondary site data store BONES as VMware SRM (by SRA) control replication?

  You must stop / cancel the configuration of the replication of the LUN manually on the storage array. SRM cannot 'see' that the LUNS are replicated and stop replication when you do a failover.

  What you can do to protect that VM is to start the Wizard "To configure Protection" and on the storage options screen select the VMDK not replicated and mark it as detached. This will allow you to complete the wizard despite the disc not replicated VM. But consider only failover / recovery test, you will need to present the data store to the hosts and fix the OS VMDK on this virtual machine manually.

  If it is possible is recommended to exclude the data replication OS store?

  Of course, it cannot be a common recommendation. What about application settings / settings OS / event logs / other things? You want to replicate the data manually store whenever something is changed in the OS?

  What is the specific reason to not replicate the BONES?

  Michael.

• can we start production on site awaiting replication data at the OS level?

  Hi, I am currently building a backup site. DB version is 11.1.0.7 and aix operating system.
  
  Our team of storage offered to use their replication tool to replicate production on host data watch.
  
  I don't know if it is one another way of RMAN duplicate.
  
  Thank you

  Well then, in the case of the SAN replication you need not to stop your production database as replication will be transparent to the database.

  To test replication works very well and to ensure that the reverse replication product, you will need to stop the database and files etc. systems take it apart before starting the database at the secondary site. Your SAN provider should be able to give details on the procedure.

  However, this kind of strategy DR is more complex than dataguard.

• Replication groups two Equallogic

  Hello

  I have two groups equallogic each connected to a separate switch dell, storage and switches from dell that they communicate with each other at all.

  is it possible to configure replication between two of them on IP management? or what is the best practice in this case?

  Hello Dan,.

  No sorry.  Replication can go on the iSCSI network.  The sending group creates and session iSCSI on the site of DR to transfer the data.   You will need to create a route between groups in order to use the EQL replication.

  Kind regards

• EqualLogic storage pool - replication

  I am very new at EQL replication and am trying to wade into white papers.

  I have several questions that I expect to have answered. But first a bit of my setup.

  I have a PS6110XV (firmware 6.05) and one Storage Pool and Volume/LUN serving an ESX HA Cluster. The volume has been created (not by me) to its maximum almost 4.8 TB (high volume) with very little for the snapshots (5%) and local reserve. Common current use is 2.6 TB with a little over 1.8 free to.

  I'm trying to understand my options of setting up this unit as a primary group to replicate on a PS4110E and will have questions. First of all, I grew up the PS4110E in its own group and am able to connect to the local iSCSI of the PS6110XV network. Everything is good with regard to connectivity at this point. However, Im faced with the question if I need to evacuate my volume entirely on the PS6110XV and start over with a new distribution of volume because the primary group fails for lack of space, which according to me is the lack of space that I have to return to the local reserve.

  1 should I a local reserve on the primary group equal to or larger than the part 'in service' of the single LUN on this unit?

  1a. If Yes to 1;

  My current volume on the PS6110XV shows 2.6 TB in use, however, I managed to get my HA cluster up to 1.7 TB. However, the volume on the LUN EQL shows still 2.6 TB of writing that I've previously run. I tried the vm tools to reclaim space, but now it is understand only oriented thin provisioned LUNs. Have I not an option to recover space on the thick LUNS, which should leave me theoretically with enough free space in the logical unit number to perform the initial replication?

  1B. If Yes to 1, not 1:

  Can I add a second table of members (in my case a much PS5000 ELDERLY) to the primary group in another Pool of storage and use to the local reserve of my LUN PS6110XV just to accommodate replication?

  1 c. If Yes to 1 and no to 1A and 1B:

  I have to evacuate my PS6110XV and start over and be smarter with my allowance and reserves to ensure that I consider the replication from the beginning?

  2. looking forward: once I get this configuration I have will locate the secondary group over the WAN. I have a lot of bandwidth, but I am willing to confirm some things. I understand that I can not NAT traffic. Telling me that I have the unique opportunity to set up a virtual private network, or go with a transfer L2. Is this correct? What I am especially struggling here is whether the default gateway of the NIC management or group should be accessible to the remote location. I don't know if I am articulating here and I'm strong enough with the side network, but think I should set up correct routing (not not using NAT) within the correct one iSCSI networks WAN link?

  Thanks for any advice or information here. I really appreciate it.

  JK

  Do not remove the Member.

  First of all I would like to convert the thick volume a thin provisioned volume.  Who will the new unallocated space in the pool of free space.   Supprimer delete snapshots, and rerun the recovery operation.  You may need to increase the percentage to reclaim space.

  Then try again to configure replication for the PS4110.    Once you get the replicated data, you can then move the DR table to its final location.

  Both need access to all ports on both sides.  Then yes a VPN.

  Kind regards

• Introduction of new PS4100 with migration

  Hi all

  my client has 2 sites, Production and DR. In Production, it has 1 PS5000X and 1 PS6000X, PS4000E 1 DR. All storage has different groups.

  EqualLogic Prod site performs replication on the site of DR.

  Now the customer comes to buy a new PS4100 that will replace PS4000E in the recovery site, which will be installed in the Production.

  The questions are:

  1. can I reproduce PS5000X, PS6000X and PS4000E to PS4100? Is it a replica supported configuration?

  2. How can I replace old with new PS4100 PS4000E storage without a duplication? In other words, how can I move all the data (mounted LUN and replicated data) from the old warehouse to new storage, without losing the configuration of replication?

  3. I would like to configure RAID50 on con PS4100 2 TB nearline SAS drive, it's a configuration supported?

  Thank you

  Angelo

  1 Yes, the replication is Firmware dependent, not limited by the hardware version, see the release notes.

  2. on the side of the DR, simply add the new table to the group, and then let the data cover two members.  Then once data are balanced between the two members, and it is finished, you can then delete the old Bay of the Group and you want to use it.

  3. When you add thePS4100 to the group, you specify the police RAID, Yes, RAID50 is supported.

• 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.

• Can we use Amazon AWS as VMWare Site Recovery?

  Hello

  I hope I'm asking that this issue will be upset fellows from VMware.  My boss decided to use Amazon AWS as a Cloud Service (it's totally beyond me even if I disagree).

  Is just wonder possible for us to put in place a recovery Site disaster in Amazon AWS?  If not, I can make a proposal to make use of our secondary site as DRS and make use of VMware software and skills.

  Your opinion is requested.

• WebClient problem with application of PSC & VCS on several sites navigation

  Hi all

  I just deployed a VC6 environment nine which consist of two sites. I wanted to set up separate server of VC + PSC external instances on each site where the PSC share a common domain, so actually two PSC replicate information between them and the VC is connected individually to each site of the PSC.

  My main site seems to work quite well when I connect here via the webclient service, but on the second site, I am unable to navigate correctly anything (again via the webclient service). Sometimes I get error messages that http://localhost:10080 / invsvc is not available, and in the "Administration" tab I have no access to anything although I already gave my account permissions. The only thing I get in return is the message "you do not have the permissions to view this object or the object does not exist".

  After some hassles around this question, I tried to redirect the second server of VC to the PSC for the first site which effectively solved the problem, but when I went back the secondary VC to its planned secondary PSC, the problem came back immediately. Now, I also noticed that this occurs only when I sail the second VC with specific accounts. I have no problem while browsing on the environment with the integrated [email protected] or even the domain administrator account from my own internal ad "[email protected]", but if I connect with my own credentials for the administrator, the problem seems to persist. I temporarily assigned my user account AD for the two VC with all permissions and I have had no problem of navigation on both sites.

  Also I don't know if it is a problem related to AD nested groups (I'm delegating access through security usually groups in my VC servers), but I could not navigate the webclient even service correctly after that I assigned my own account directly to instances of VC. Yet once again, this only happens on the secondary site. I gave my has all the necessary permits for the two VC and I have no problem to go them the webclient primary VC, but it is just go right through the second Victoria Cross.

  To me, this seems to be some sort of bug PSC or WebClient. I've tried the individual VC via the regular vSphere navigation c# client and there is no problem with permissions at all, so, actually, that I access granted.

  My environment is based on 100% windows and VMware share consist of several individual components such as PSC and VCS instances deployed on separate VMS on each site (so 4 VM altogether). I have 2 domain controllers in each site with healthy replication and currently I use SQL server databases 2014 hosted directly on instances of the VC.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Update - has worked with support today and they had me spend my Source of the identity of 'Active Directory' (Windows integrated authentication), "Active Directory as an LDAP source ' problems went. Next week, I'll add another remote site to test and see if everything still works.

• Restore with replication of vSphere

  Hello

  We use SRM 5.1 with replication of vSphere.

  I'm trying to get a rough idea of how long a reprotect operation would take after a failover, especially synchronization of storage.

  The manual says that:

  
  "The full synchronization that appears especially in the stages of recovery performs control totals, and only a small amount of data is transferred over the network."

  However in my testing this step still seems to take a long time to complete.  For a person of 50 GB, it takes 40 minutes.  My question is: what is the bottleneck here and I can speed things up?

  In a live scenario, I have much larger comments VMs and I fear that a reprotect could take days to synchronize the storage.

  Thank you

  Steve

  The full synchronization bed basically just for the disk data and checksum data. It also makes requests to read the data and return a set of checksums remotely. He would only send the data if the checksums do not match. Thus, assuming that not many disk changed, there is very little except checksum travel over the network. So you will respect especially how fast you can read files vmdk on both sites and to a lesser extent by the latency of the network between the sites, and, of course, if the link between the sites remains upward.

  Check if the link to the sites is good. Get often ignored or not connections are limited somehow? The latency is extremely high, as hundreds of milliseconds? This can slow things down.

  On the source site, make sure that the storage is not overloaded with other work. In the case of NAS/ISCSI, check also that there is no other work of network hogging bandwidth. Sometimes, there are periodic offers on secondary sites, like backups, and that people often forget this can be a lot of resources.

  On the destination site, carry out similar checks and make sure that the server VR is to get a reasonable amount of network and CPU resources.
