• Problems with vSphere replication

  Hello

  Ive been with vSphere for about a week now and I'm faced with the logic of the replication tool V.

  I've been creeping (don't not trolling) forums and web trying to find a good source that can explain this plugin which is visible in my Web client installation method. I also license MORE.

  This is probably the only one I can find so far: -.

  http://vknowledge.NET/2012/09/12/vSphere-5-1-getting-started-with-vSphere-replication-5-1/

  What I want to achieve is to reproduce all the virtual machines on one of my servers to another identical server of the G8.

  Two questions if you could help please?

  1. someone any good tutorials on it.

  2. I went and made a schoolboy error, I think, I gave the vSphere replicaiton appliance the same IP address as my ESXi host. (This is how I am wrong) and now I can not access the host because of this machine. Can someone tell me how I can reconnect to this machine without a comprehensive resettlement and reconstruction of 50 guests or more.

  Thanks in advance if you can help.

  It is difficult to explain the internel operation of the SRM, vsphere replication etc... in this little time...

  the basics are simple... How it works... ?

  There are 2 types of replication replication 1-vsphere 2-array based replication

  vpshere replication is a basic agent - it's a VR agent will be there inside the esxi hosts this monitor of the agent running the virtual machine inside this host and replicates data binding if WAN remote site.

  the main PR\648606FR here is - once the replication of the entire virtual machine that's happened, after that only the blocks changed the VMFS will be launched on the... which is the only the modified virtual machine data will be replicated. It's called CBT, VR agent follows the blocks inside the VMFS, if any block of virtual machine data is changed it will get replicated.

  dosent it replication vsphere require no support from the underlying storage Bay...

  the second is the table of a function... where the entire replication is managed by the matrix of storage... and it works with the MRS.

  See the post for more details... http://communities.VMware.com/message/2175005#2175005

  now to your questions.

• vSphere replication

  I just have a few questions on vSphere replication, I deployed the device on one of my ESXi hosts and I have the replication of configuration for some of my virtual machines.

  They must reproduce successfully, these replicate to a computer host which is another of my sites (although it all on the same network that the other site is linked directly via the BT 100 MB fiber connection)

  My question is this: If something happens to the building where our servers are located and also where I have the installer of vCenter server to manage my environment ESXi, how do I get the VMs back to work on the host, they have replicated too?

  Hope this makes sense, I know that I can use the web management interface to manage vreplication device to retrieve the VMS and deploy them to any host you want. But if the basic site is down I will not have access to a vsphere web management interface or you vreplication.

  So, how do you bring the replicated VMs online?

  I've been using vRanger connection for replication of VMs and during replication to the host who is off site, they appear only as VMs and I turn on logging to the server directly using the vsphere client, as they just normally appear as VMS on that host. But this doesn't seem to be the case with the unit of replication vSphere.

  Hoping someone enlighten us on that.

  As vSphere replication is a feature of vSphere, its features are accessible at the vc level. So in order to perform a recovery through the user interface in the single vc use case you have vc and vr servers upward and running. If there is crushing of the CV so you can check out this http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2012/09/21/can-i-protect-my-vcenter-server-with-vsphere-replication/article. It is for the recovery of the CR but should work for all virtual machines

  well, in this case, we need to disable the standby of the end of the replication.

  So that everything in triggering replication does not trigger the snapshot of the suspension.

• with vSphere replication to replicate vCenter Server in a VM

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to find some info on this. I currently have vCenter 5.5 running on a Windows 2008 R2 VM server. I was wondering can I use replication to replicate it in some shared storage for backup purposes, and if I had to lose it could I recover and this and be good to go? He runs a database integrated. or is it as AD/SQL/Exchange and in general you shouldn't use replication or something of the sort for them.

  Also, if I have reproduced on the recovering site, I could pick it up and re protect him using MRS. and migrate to the main site once I had everything back up and restart? Is there a difference if I ran the vCenter device instead of the version of Windows inside a virtual machine?

  My apologies if this has been answered before that somewhere, it just went through my mind randomly and Googling gives me really a lot of results, so if its been answered somewhere, please point me in that direction.

  Hello

  vSphere replication requires vCenter to function, you cannot use VR to protect it that you wouldn't have a way to recover, unless it has been replicated on a different vCenter (whereby it might be recovered, but only inside the other vCenter) or if it has been managed by a different vCenter.

  If you are in the second option, where you have a vCenter management appliance RV, and you have an another vCenter, so yes, you can use RS in this model to protect and auto restore your internal vCenter.

  No difference in the functionality between vCA and windows version of vCenter.

  As for your statement: "or is it as AD/SQL/Exchange and in general you shouldn't use replication or something of the sort for them."

  -vSphere replication supports VSS suspension

  -I'm Okay I wouldn't recommend AD replication (SQL and Exchange or if you can use the built in replication at the application level)

  -If you can not however, most modern applications work very well in a consistent state of crash (VR normal replication) and the rest works with VSS

  Hope that answers your questions

• vSphere replication upgrade from 5.5 to 5.8 active server (not accessible)

  I was doing a vsphere replication update today from 5.5 to 5.8 and upgrade part seems to be okay.  After restarting the device however my vcenter reports that the server is not accessible.  I did something wrong?

  I followed the steps here. VMware vSphere replication 5.8 Documentation Center

  I searched a bit, but the only solution I found was to ensure and powering of the device and the Tower back on rather than just restart it a fix, but that has not seemed to help in my case.

  Thank you

  If anyone is curious who don't end up fixing it was the certificate as I feared.  So after all this ironed out, which was still two days of work because of how long I would have this vcenter install go.  Everything has been fixed after replacing my old self signed cert with a new.

• vSphere replication and RDM

  Hello

  I have a site that I put in place which has Windows 2012 R2 invited with RDM in physical compatibility mode.  When I go through the wizard of replication vSphere for these servers I can configure replication for the comments and as expected I can not set up for the RDM (which is fine, I have those covered by the SRA) but on the last stage it errors with the following:

  Configure a virtual machine for replication

  Physical RDM mode is not supported by vSphere replication and there is a known issue, you cannot configure replication for VM with RDM physical mode even if you exclude this record of replication.

  Check the release notes: VMware vSphere replication 5.5.1 Release Notes

  Cannot configure a virtual machine with disc RDM in physical mode even if the disk is excluded from replication.

  If you configure a replication of a virtual machine with the physical mode, the following error message may appear:

  VRM Server generic error. Check the documentation for any troubleshooting information. The detailed exception is: HMS can not set disk UUID for disks of VM : MoRef: type = VirtualMachine, value = , serverGuid = null'.
  

  Workaround: No.

• Move cluster configured with replication SRM and Vsphere

  All,

  We go 2 groups in the near future to achieve a geographical distance between the 2 sites.

  A cluster is equipped with VMware 5.0 replication SRM and vSphere and the other cluster running VMware 5.5 and SRM in combination with replication of vSphere.

  What is the best way to move these clusters, I must stop the replication or interrupt the replication process and are these action to perform on SRM or we need to perform any action on the virtual machine itself?

  I read that a stop is setting the State to not configured including destroy all files in the target directory.

  Does anyone have an experience by physically moving a cluster managed by SRM (and replication of vSphere)

  Any help is welcome

  Thank you

  Just pause replication before stop you the VR device on the site target/DR. stop vs break with vSphere replication - VMware vSphere Blog - Articles from VMware

• PowerCLI and vSphere 5.1 replication

  We recently started using vSphere replication integrated in vCenter 5.1 and I was wondering if there are all the commands to monitor or configure replication using PowerCLI.

  I installed PowerCLI 5.1 and I tried to get-command * replication * and get-command * line * but nothing associated with VMWare.

  Nope, nothing is available at the moment.

  But there is Mike Lavericks books on SRM which contains examples of PowerCLI.

  Not sure if there is no replication scripts in this analysis however.

• Move VMS between server ESXi and vSphere ESX server

  Dear all,

  I want to move some a vSphere ESX server virtual machines to ESXi server.

  I understand that some users will use CPS to move between the ESX servers, but apparently not for moving between different products.

  I'm just using a slow and prone to error method:

  The files of the virtual machine to my deskop PC of vSphere ESX server and then upload to the ESXi server.

  I would advise you to please all of the methods that is better than this one?

  Help, please.

  Kind regards

  Tommy

  If you got a central storage you can move virtual machines between the two products with vMotion. Since you don't seem to have available vMotion, you pouvez use scp. SCP has nothing to do with ESX/ESXi products. It is a Linux/Unix program which is available in both servers.

  So with the CPS, you need a little less.

  The syntax is like:

  SCP - r/path/to/vm/directory user@esxi:/path/to/new/location

• data replication with ODI between SQL SERVER and ORACLE

  Hello world
  First of all, I want to migrate database SQL SERVER and ORACLE DB tables.
  And then make online (synchronous) replication from SQL SERVER to ORACLE using ODI.
  
  I have not used before ODI.
  How to use the ODI for this?

  1. create a master repository and connect to the "topology Manager.
  2. in the topology Manager, you must configure the following
  2.1 create a data server for the Oracle under Oracle database in the physical connection
  2.2. create a database for the SQL Server database server in SQL Server in the physical connection. To do this, the jdbc for sql server driver.
  2.3 implement the logical connection and frame
  2.4 create a workrepository in the topology manager repositories tab
  3. connect to the designer and follow these steps
  3.1 create a template for the SQL Server source and reverse (import) the datastores (tables) to the model.
  3.2 the value of the model for the target of the Oracle
  3.3 create a (mapping) interface, under the table in schema define the source and then add it to the target and bind
  3.3 on the flow tab, you must set the Modules (KMs) of knowledge to perform the load. You must have imported the KMs before creating the interface.
  3.4 in IKM put 'create table traget' to 'yes '.
  4 run the interface to load data from SQL to Oracle Server

• vSphere replication bandwidth control.
