• SRM vSphere possible replication or SAN?

  Hello

  
  Just curious to know if you can configure the replication SAN with the SRA to who is matched (1 site, Site 1DR) and then also configure Replicator Vmware for SAN systems who don't not have built in replication.

  
  Is it possible to install?  Let me know?

  VMware and vSphere replication port replicator?

  Use vSphere replication, you must deploy the unit of replication vSphere on each site, and you can use the same server of MRS. along the coast with SRA.

  Combined based on the Bay and vSphere replication of the limits of Protection with SRM

  With MRS, you can run groups of protection based on the Bay alongside vSphere protection groups on the same SRM Server replication. However, the total number of protection groups cannot exceed 250. For example, you cannot create 150 groups of protection based on the Bay and then create 250 vSphere replication protection associations, because this creates 400 total protection groups. If you have 150 groups of protection based on the Bay, you can create an additional 100 vSphere protection of the replication groups, for a total of 250 groups of protection.

• question of replication vSphere

  is it possible by means of keeping 24hrs rpo, then to 7 copies of virtual machines for the last 7 days of backup.

  I tried, but it gives only the option to restore a virtual machine that is 24 hours old.

  any possibility?

  Yes, vSphere replication is capable enough to work, there is no such requirement to SRM. and JEREMIAH is also a feature built-in replication vSphere and certainly free of SRM. Just that you have to configure replication for a virtual computer by using the web client.

  JEREMIAH is all about keeping a set number of snapshots on site of recovery for the virtual machine, so that after the success of the recovery of this virtual machine, you can go in the Snapshot Manager and return to one of these snapshots. Please note that during recovery of the virtual machine, it will not ask you instant witch you want to recover to, it's just going to get VM in its last State, then you must go to the Snapshot Manager to see these snapshots are preserved.

• 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.

  1. someone any good tutorials on it. -the best method is to read the official docs...

• vSphere replication: can it be used with Hyper-V?

  I have a use case where I would like to migrate virtual servers (largely 2008R2) Hyper-V hosts to 5.5 ESXi hosts.  I know I could use vCenter Converter to do this in a procedure in 2 steps, or Zerto in a simpler process, but I was wondering if vSphere replication can be used.  I have not seen anything which seems to indicate that it can be used, but I thought I'd ask anyway.  Thanks for any input.

  Unfortunately, I do not see how it would be possible.

  Zerto / VMware Converter would be your best options

• Automate the network port group selection in vsphere replication

  Hi, when you use the vsphere replication tool to recover servers in the data center of DR, the tool does not gives option to select network settings. I have to manually add the port groups and turn on the system remotely vcenter. Is it possible to automate this process, when the replication of a major part of the vms ~ 100-150. I would like to know if there is another way to fix the process and avoid the manual load.

  I use replication of vsphere device version 5.8

  Thank you

  The only way to automate this process is through the Site Recovery Manager.  Automate and orchestrate BC/DR is a big part of the value offered by SRM. The other advantage is the ability to test your recovery plans without disruption of service.

  Does that answer your question?

• vSphere replication seeding

  Hi guys,.

  Basically the standard way to do a seed must turn off the virtual machine on the source site, make a copy of it and then she picks up on the site of DR to put it on a data store and the replication source site VM instance point to posterity.

  My question is rather than this cant you just use a POS/Veeam backup restore on the target site, itll be a bit outdated and replication of vSphere point to that?

  I take its probably not possible, I'm sure he would have been on the internet somewhere, if not I'm curious as to why not?

  See you soon,.

  Bilal

  vSphere replication requires that source and target UUID drives match. When restoring machines virtual/VMDK POS, Veeam, etc., restored disks get new UUID. You can manually change the UUID of each restored disc, but it's a little heavy.

• 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 - unidirectional replication

  
  Hello.

  I was wondering if someone could please shed some light on a question that I have in relation to vSphere replication and unidirectional replication that I am struggling to find all related documentation.

  We have two sites hosting a cluster ESXi 5.0 on each site. I've set up vSphere replication between the two groups reproducing a number of virtual machines from Site B to Site A. Virtual machines are, fortunately, replication between sites, but I am now at a point where I want to stop replication and use virtual machines to the Site. I don't want to reproduce back to Site B, even disaster.

  I created a Protection Group and a Recovery Plan and successfully migrated a test of the virtual machine to the Site I have is no longer necessary for replication, or the copy of the virtual machine to Site B. I have loked "Remove replication" on the virtual machine, but according as I read this will actually delete the virtual machine at the replicate site , that is, Site A (where I want now, run the virtual machine of).

  How can I better remove replication without destryoing the Site A virtual machine? Can I just delete the virtual machine on Site B from the disk?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  See you soon

  Hello

  If you got your virtual machines from site B to site A, then you can remove safely from the replication using the button to delete the replication. This will simply erase your replication. It will not remove the VMs running at the site has recovered.

• Some questions about replication

  Hello

  I have several questions with vSphere replication.

  -Can I replicate a server ESXi isolated VM, without vCenter?

  -If I can, you could turn on the VM as if necessary? because when I turn on the virtual machine, I manage in vcenter console

  -If I reproduce it in vCloud, how should I? I need to download a camera in my office and the other in my cloud?

  Thanks for help

  Hello

  -Can I replicate a server ESXi isolated VM, without vCenter?

  You have vCenter Server to replicate virtual machines inside or between data centers. VR as a product is installed on vCenter level and is only available if you are using vSphere Web Client connected to the server vCenter.

  -If I can, you could turn on the VM as if necessary? because when I turn on the virtual machine, I manage in vcenter console

  vSphere replication is not disrupt the work of the virtual machine. It monitors which changes the VM and the changes are replicated

  -If I reproduce it in vCloud, how should I? I need to download a camera in my office and the other in my cloud?

  If you build your own private cloud using vCloud Director VR allows to respond directly to the vCD, as VR currently supports only VC as target. You can however check VMware vCloud hybrid Service: overview | United States if you want to replicate in VMware vCloud hybrid service, workloads

  Hope this helps

• vSphere replication ports

  Hi guys

  We will be deploying vsphere replication between 2 sites that are geographically far apart.

  My question is to confirm if only this 2 ports must be open for replicatio to work?

  Port of 44046 31031

  any other port?

  I found this for Site Recovery manager

  http://pubs.VMware.com/SRM-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.VMware.SRM.install_config.doc%2FGUID-019985CE-1024-47B0-80AF-B96D1837916A.html

  

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  This is the same topic as part of vSphere documentation Replication - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.replication_admin.doc/GUID-88B96DAB-8389-40A5-849B-D94ED5A3C4AD.html - in case you are using vSphere replication without SRM.

  The ports listed by you are for replication traffic and the source host must have access to these ports on the secondary site server VR devices to send deltas of the replica.

  VRMS uses the reverse proxy Server vCenter and management traffic to the other VRM through port 80 between the tunnels sites.

  In order to have 31031, 44046 ports and port 80 should be sufficient.

  I have not checked the c# Client UI SRM - I see that direct access to the port remote VRM 8043 was explicitly mentioned. It might be useful to check if it is really necessary in 5.1.

  The plugin of vSphere in vSphere client Web replication does not need to directly access the 8043 remote site port, it uses the vCenter Server proxy port 80.

  Kind regards

• 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

  How can simple question - I add photos to my mail body. But instead of the answer - found 1000 results for how can I add photos to my Thunderbird emails. There are answers that don't apply at all to the question anyway. Why must it be so difficult to get a simple answer to a simple question?

  Thunderbird is a bit like Microsoft, all the reasons as I dumped MS Live Mail.

  First, a lot of help for Thunderbird refers to the menus that may not be visible. It would be useful to you and us if you have your menus and toolbars visible.

  Then, open a window of writing. Activate the menu and operate.

  Now that you see an option "Insert"?

  If this isn't the case, you can assign composing in plain text, which does not support embedded images.

  Tools | Account settings| {Select account} | Composition & addressing and ensure "Compose messages in HTML format" are checked. If it is not already checked, go back to writing a message. No better now?

  Once you have the mode of composition HTML goes, you can use Insert | Image or various permutations of copy - paste and drag - move to the body of your message.

How can I install/uninstall and will I lose all my old films (for the most part stored on external hard drives). Thanks for your suggestions.

  You will not lose anything, but the app if you uninstall. If you decide to uninstall use this app to make sure that all the other files which depends on FCE are also deleted however I can't give you any assurance as to whether you will be able to reinstall so that it works correctly. It is a software that has not been supported for almost 5 years and there are conflicting reports as to its compatibility with OS X 10.11. Can't I test it myself.

  Maybe someone else will chime in with their own experiences.
