• Site Recovery Manager - Import/Export of recovery Plans

  Hello world

  I have a few questions about SRM:

  1. what SRM version supports the export of stimulus packages to the formats xml, doc and html? Y at - it a Composite indicator advanced to do the same thing?

  2. is it possible to import script of stimulus plans?

  3. when the recovery plans reside? SRM DB or vCenter?

  4. is it possible to generate scripts an automatic failover on the disaster without administrator intervention? As in without clicking any button?

  5. is there any limitation to the distance between the site of production and recovery site, for synchronous and asynchronous?

  6. the SRM 5.5 is compatible with vSphere (5.1.2)?

  Thank you very much for your answers

  Kind regards

  Export of "No recovery plan" is available even in SRM 5.1 but it cannot be imported back so that it is not repeated import/export plan that you expect. I expect the same year. Export of the stages of recovery plan is good for the documentation of DR but not for PR backup and restore.

  To be honest I don't have a hands-on experience with 5.5 but I don't see anything about importing in the documentation so I expect same behavior as in 5.1.

• Recovery plan test failed - a file is not found error

  Hi all

  Finally, I got my SRM environment installed a few days ago and made a small test with 2 VMS successfully recovery plan. Today, we run a new trial with 18 virtual machines of low priority and everything went smoothly until after 15 minutes, the process failed with the error "file not found" turn on/off the virtual machines on the remote site.

  Basically, we have 1 EMC Clariion each site with mirrorview which have been configured after EMC VMware Site Recovery Manager with EMC CLARiiON CX3 and MirrorViewS implementation and MRS. 1.0 Guide. We have detected that the snashot created recovery Clarrion is placed to the right of the active state after the beginning of the trial, but after 15 minutes later he returned to Inactive.

  Other research showed me that the error that gives me the recovery plan test is correct given that the snapshot is no longer active and all files in the virtual machines (VMX and VMDK) that the SRM tries to light are on the snapshot.

  Any of you have seen something like that?

  

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Our best practices for configuring CLARiiON SnapView, which copies itself on the first point of entry in the catch instant times the volume of production is to distribute between 20-30% of the production LUN for the RLP LUNS box

  Regarding your volume of 300 GB of LUN LUN Pool reserved (and you might need more than one - that is to say if you have a consistent snapshot that includes multiple LUNS it will add ot the space required)-you should provide at least a 30 GB, otherwise a 60 GB LUNS in your region Reserved LUN Pool

  I would try to increase the RLP LUNS for this kind of size and try again

• Create the Recovery Plan

  Hello

  I install SRM for the first time. It is with the 1.0 1.0.1 update 1 Patch 3 (build 154949) is installed. I have the software installed and configured. The reproduction of painting works and SRA can communicate with the hardware. My VMs are on the LUN replcated. I have implemented the Protection Group and you can see the dummy VMs on the remote site of the network and the correct resource pool. Everything is good so far...

  Of course, the next step is to implement a Recovery Plan. When I run the wizard, I stop at step 2, there is no group of Protection listed for me to choose. What I'm negliecting to do! I don't see the error messages, which leads me to believe that miss me a step somewhere I followed the Administrator's guide.

  TIA,

  Julian.

  Even if you create a protection group using the vCenter and SRM server on the side of your protection, you create a recovery plan in the vCenter Server where it will be executed.  If you need to connect to the Server vCenter site recovery to create a recovery plan for your production VMs - looks like you might be connected to the protection Server vCenter Server-side.

  When you try to create a plan for relief on your protection server side, SRM believes you want to retrieve the virtual machines that run normally on the remote site.

• PowerCLI 5.5 R2 and SRM - how to check the status of a Recovery Plan?

  I need to write a script that will examine the current status (apparently called a "RunMode") of a Recovery Plan, is the appropriate status (1 = Test, 3 = cleaning), then get a list of all virtual machines in a suitable specific folder and they will light up (wait 15 seconds between move them on to the next). There are reasons why the Recovery Plan cannot be responsible to do, so why do I need to write a script (the reasons have nothing to do with PowerCLI). And I have problems with the first part, determination of status.

  I have this (I won pretty well most of this pure and simple of the blog of Ken Werneburg. Thank you, Ken!) :

  $DR_vCenter = "xxxxxx".

  $SRM = connect-SrmServer-Server $DR_vCenter

  $SRM_API = $SRM. ExtensionData

  $PlanMoRef = $SRM_API. . Moref Recovery.ListPlans () [2]

  (My plan is #2, others their test plans. I checked this by looking at the name of each plan. And all the good things I want is in this 'moref,"apparently...)

  $HistoryMoRef = $SRM_API. Recovery.GetHistory ($PlanMoRef)

  (it's the history of the races of this plan. Here it is the story of the last race)

  $HistoryMoRef.GetRecoveryResult (1)

  
  

  Key: 68835

  Plan: VMware.VimAutomation.Srm.Views.SrmRecoveryPlan

  Name: Recovery_Plan_PHA

  Description:

  ExecutionTimeInSeconds: 374

  TotalPausedTimeInSeconds: 0

  ResultState: success

  RunMode: CleanupTest

  WarningCount: 0

  ErrorCount: 0

  SO: I understand how to get the history of the plan that I want, and it's more progress. The problem I have is that if the RunMode is a specific value (either "Test" or "Failover", then I need to launch other actions (power of virtual machines.) And I can't seem to do. «$HistoryMoRef.GetRecoveryResult (1).» RunMode"is empty return. I don't know how it is that the value of "CleanupTest".

  How can I query the RunMode, to see if it is a value which I am interested in?

  Well, I managed to reproduce the problem and to understand what might happen.

  First the error "you can not call a method on an expression evaluated to null." seems to be linked to the "Write-Output"PG ="$pg" line. When I remove the error to go away (I'm not a person of PowerShell so don't know why this is the case).

  The second error (not not being filled seems to be linked to how they make the connection virtual computers SRM.) Specifically, you will need to establish the connection of VC and then do SRM login without specifying the SRM server, let that be determined by searching the SRM recorded with the VC you are connected to.

  The following code worked in my environment when it is connected to the protected so site full of hope that it will work for you as well:

  SE connect-VIServer-Server $protectedSiteVC - user $user-password $pass

  Connect-SrmServer-user $user-password $pass

  Write-Host "implementation details on Protection groups.

  Get-ProtectionGroup | {ForEach-Object

  $pg = $_

  Get-ProtectedVM - ProtectionGroup $pg} | {ForEach-Object

  #Write - Output 'do for each virtual computer.

  $output = "" | Select VmName, PgName

  $_. Vm.UpdateViewData)

  $output. VmName = $_. Vm.Name

  $output. PgName = $pg. GetInfo(). Name

  $output

  } | Format-Table @{Label = 'Name of the virtual computer'; Expression = {$_.} VmName}}, @{Label = 'Protection Group name'; Expression = {$_.} PgName}

• Recovery plans

  Hello

  I work with MRS 5.1 using array based replication.  I have a question about stimulus plans.  We have a very basic configuration.  We have a single data store that is being replicated to our failover site.  There are two virtual machines on this data store, tell VM1 and VM2.  Is it possible to create 3 Plans of recovery for this scenario:

  1. A recovery plan just for VM1

  2. recovery plan B just VM2

  3 C VM1 and VM2 recovery plan.

  I thought that this was possible in version 4.1, but it seems that the recovery plan for 5.1 must include all the VMs on the data store.  I saw the options to leave a VM turned on or turned off in a stimulus package, but which is then set to globally for the virtual machine in all the stimulus packages.

  I know that I am probably missing something here so any help or advice would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  This will not work: failover / planned migration will always disable the two virtual machines on the protected site.

  Even you set VM as poweroff in RP, it is always protected and will be shut down.

• Types of SRM recovery plans

  Hi, I use vSphere 5 and have an obligation to SRM of Set - up for a handful of virtual machines (about 10). I think to implement a unique restoration plan, the Group of protection... etc.

  Can anyone in detail why 1 > stimulus package will be useful? that is the test cases in different scenrios or DR.

  I guess a single RP can fit for all purposes, but have heard that it is not advisable and want more details of the types of recovery plans.

  Thank you

  Hello

  For a small enviromnent like what you describe, I don't think more than a PR is necessary.

  As Chris said, nn more often by RPs application is created.

  Much less common, but the RP may be based on certain parts of the infrastructure (by Bay RP, RP for specific server room).

  P.S. good point about real DR / Migration scheduled, but it is more difficult to manage, because you need to make any changes twice to keep both RPS in sync. In addition, you will need to test both of them to make sure that everything works as expected.

• After execution of the recovery plan, the Test is greyed out

  I missed successfully test on 2 virtual machines running the recovery as part of our POC plan.  I have powered down VMS protected and recovery, initiated a resynchronization on the volume of SnapMirror and intend to continue to use the same recovery plan for additional tests.  However, the Test option for the recovery plan is dimmed (Run option is still available).  What I need to remove the stimulus plan and recreate a whenever I run a Run and not a Test?  It is a chore because I need to re-add the customizations (messages, orders), update priorities and so on.  I use SRM v4.1.1.

  Hello

  You need to re - create groups of Protection that is pushed. Stimulus plans do not need to be re-created, but you will need to reconfigure to include recreated protection groups. All customizations related to virtual machines (priorities, orders, customizations) must be configured again.

  It was a case in the 4.x versions, don't think that changed in 5.0.

• SRM 4.1 - steps in Test of Recovery Plan and DR Mode

  Hi all

  Whilst running the SRM Recovery Plan, I need to start two different handwritings (doing different things), depending on whether the plan is executed in testing, or fashion DR.

  Is it possible according to the operator to input (like "choice Y/N - is this a test?"), or do I have to build two separate Recovery Plans, one for testing, the other for the actual failover?

  Kind regards
  Radek

  If you add a step in order to stimulus package to run a batch file, for example

  c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\srm_scripts\myscript.bat

  And then in the batch file, make sure the variable % VMware_RecoveryMode %.  If it is set to the recovery, it is running in recovery mode, if it is set to be tested is in testmode for example to run a script PowerCLI different depending on whether it is running a true recovery DR or a trial, but what follows in the batch file, where myrecoveryscript.ps1 is the script of PowerCLI is running in recovery mode and mytestscript.ps1 is PowerCLI script to run in test mode :

  If % VMware_RecoveryMode % == "recovery" powershell - PSconsolefile "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere"-command "c:\srm_scripts\myrecoveryscript.ps1".

  If % VMware_RecoveryMode % == 'test' powershell - PSconsolefile "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere"-command "c:\srm_scripts\mytestscript.ps1".

• Discs of recovery or installation discs for Win7?

  Is it possible to buy the Win7x64 installation disk from HP for my laptop Pavilion dv6-7000?  I cleaned the system, elimination of most of the HP bloatware and subsequently found to make a set of recovery disks to restore the system to the new condition, I need to use the Recovery Manager > creation of recovery disks that no longer exists.

  If this request fails, I can buy a set of recovery disc from HP for my laptop?

  You are the very welcome.

  That is right.

  What you may be getting confused about (for lack of better term), is that the recovery disks have a product key encoded and pre-activated, and you don't need to enter the product key or activate the installation using a manufacturer of PC - installation of the brand or the recovery made for the specific model or a disk group of models from the same manufacturer.

  For example: computers business notebooks from HP recovery discs that consist of a single generic OS OEM installation disk, no different from that which you have just downloaded, with the exception of a pre-activated in the disk, product key and as long as you install on HP PC meets the criteria of the disc is looking for you will not have to activate the software or change the product key.

  With the OS disc is a driver and application of disc that you can run after the installation of the operating system.
