• SRM shared recovery Site - CUSTOM_SETUP = 1

  Hello

  We have an installer of the SRM 1-to-many, well at the moment, it looks more like 1-1 because there is only a match.

  When I install the original SRM I used shared recovery option VMware srm - 4.1.1 - 340092.exe /V "CUSTOM_SETUP = 1"

  Now, I would like to add another code of SRM: for a new pairing, and whenever I run VMware-srm - 4.1.1 - 340092.exe /V "CUSTOM_SETUP = 1" I have two repair options or on delete. " In all of the literature I read, I'm suppose to open a window with the option to install another plugin custom id?

  Am I missing something?

• SRM upgrade rollback

  I've got failback, an upgrade of MRS. 5.0.2 to 5.0.1 only success on sites protected and recovery improvements due if one is 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 is and I need all the back working on the previous version until I can solve the problem. I have a BAK file backup of the external SQL DB and I saw MRS VM before the upgrade.

  The plan that I thought would be:

  1. Stop the VM SRM upgrade
  2. Return to the upgrade
  3. The server of SQL, right-click the DB, select tasks and restore the DB in the BAK file
  4. Start the VM SRM upward

  I'm afraid that there will be problems with VCenter (5.0) if as surely the successful SRM upgrade would have made changes here too for example it is the update plugin MRS. visible in the VI client and who would still probably stay if I performed the action above. Any thoughts?

  Hello

  The official literature suggests the following procedure:

  To return to an earlier version, uninstall the current version of the SRM of the protected server and the recovery sites.

  uninstall the plug-in of MRS and restore the database SRM for the backup that you made before you updated the

  SRM server. You can then install the previous version and use the restored database.

  You can find more information on page 40 in the Administrator's guide.

  IMO your plan should work. But you probably need to run the installer SRM in mode "Change" (same page 40 in the Administrator's guide) to repair the connection to vCenter.

• The SRM - resources Site showing as incorrect inventory maps

  Hello

  Before we start I'm new on 'hands-on' SRM, so please excuse the lack of agreement.  I use two clusters HP P4000 SAN, the two sites-A and B Site using vCenter 4.1 and SRM 4.1.0 - 267817.

  I am setting up the RS interface for the first time and have so far:

  > set up the "connection" under "Protection Setup" and have a status of connected.

  > set up "picture frames" under "Protection Setup" and have configured status.

  > installed the P4000 SRA on both vCenter servers.

  > Configuration remote regular snapshots and replication is complete.

  In the management group configuration, I installed a Site as a protected Site (Production)

  In the management group configuration, I installed Site-B as the recovery (DR) Site

  This configuration wizard to finish I get the message saying "replicated volumes could not be matched with inventory data warehouses.  At this point, I guess that's because inventory maps were not yet Setup.

  In the configuration of mappings of mappings of inventory under "Configuration of Protection", you have two columns, protected Site resources and second Deposito Site.  This is the crux of the problem... Site-B (DR) is indicated under "protected Site resources.

  According to the Documentation of SRA HP P4000, "protection site is the site that is being replicated to the.
  recovery to the recovery site. »

  Please help, I'm fooled!

  That's right

  See a local and that SRM/vCenter you work remotely.

  So basically if you replicate storage of Dominican Republic production, you could do with bidirectional failover.

  As mentioned, you create the Protection groups on the Production site

  You create on the DR SRM/vCenter site recovery plan

• "Dell Backup and Recovery" asking the upgrade with the inspiron 15 model

  Hello

  I'm new to this forum and also started to use the Dell laptop. I bought Dell Inspiron 15 (model 3521) 01-Jan-2014. I am trying to take backup of my laptop on a DVD. When I clicked on 'Backup and restore of Dell' app in app Manager. I try to click on backup system option 'Dell backup and recovery' section, its upgrade premium or enter key. Its not that allows to create backup DVDs.

  What may be the issue? Because when I bought it, seller said that his original one.

  It's part a scam from Dell.  I've got 5 Dell portable computers/computers / tables all have this software on it with a VERY limited useage then weekly or if I get a pop window op offering the upgrade at a special price which, in the end, is the same price as if you would have just bought or 'improved' (like Dell likes to call it) the program to a regular price which IS : 39.99.

  What I hate about businesses, in particular, the one that I spend a lot of money with it, is when they think they can put a quick access on me or in my case 5 times that I have 5 of these upgrade special offer windows popping up each week.

  You're better off getting programs like Goodsync which will back up your computer or synchronize your files on an external hard drive, and that you can use on all of your computers for only $29.99.  I use it on my servers and my offices.

  Otherwise good luck with Dell and their implementation to special day called 'offer' that is the price of retail, after all.  NOT COOL DELL ALL!

• vCenter data recovery - is it upgrade for VCB

  Hello

  I wonder if vCenter data recovery is an upgrade for existing ESX enterprise clients using VCB, or it is a new product which must be purchased?

  any ideas?

  VMware data recovery is intended as a product recovery and backup of disk to disk for virtual machines.

  The product is included in some editions of vSphere and downloadable and add-on for some of the other (for example standard).

  hope that helps,

• Question of shared recovery Site

  Here's my scenario.  I need to test VMware View and SRM.  I plan to use scripts provided by EMC to help with view and SRM because the view was not really made to be able to test in a DR scenario.

  I have two vCenters in a production data center.  One is used for my normal "servers" and is vCenter 4.1 x 64.   The other vCenter is used for VMware View host computers, I have this vCenter (called "VDI") because I use View Composer and it is not compatible with x 64 servers.

  On the site of DR, I have a vCenter.  It is currently running vCenter 4.0.  Now, I know that I can have a shared with MRS recovery site, but virtual machines can also be shared?

  For example, should I perform a test of SRM which includes a production vCenter my "Server" domain controller and also include the view virtual machines that are part of the other 'VDI' vCenter in my production?

  Thank you!

  First of all, what version of MRS. you plan to use? You mentioned the two vCenter 4.1 and 4.0. SRM 4.1 is not compatible with vCenter 4.0 and SRM 4.0.x is not compatible with vCenter 4.1 (SRM versions must be the same at all sites).

  Regarding your question, I have not implemented recovery shared functionality, but as far as I know, even in this configuration you can still pair site independently, i.e. protected satellite site SRM and SRM instance of its corresponding recoverysite instance. So I don't think that the associations for the Protection of several sites will be available to include in the unique recovery plan.

  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

• 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:

  [5B803B90 error 'Hbrsvc'] ReplicationGroup get-server-status request failed, try again (groupID=GID-dfe64ab6-4922-49c9-8920-de47c5758d16): not found

  On the vmkernel.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

• 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.
