SRM and EMC Solutions Enabler

Hi all

I'm looking in the options available for implementation of the Site Recovery Manager with EMC Symmetrix storage.

We are looking for ways to use the Solutions Enabler to avoid the need to directly attach the MRS server to the storage group.

I can be this misunderstanding, but is it not possible to install the activator of solutions on an ESX host and use this host as a gateway to the table?

I imagine that if this is how things work then the Activator would install on the Service Console OS within ESX?  Is something similar to happen with ESXi?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Dave

Although it was possible to use the ESX host, it is not at all achievable with ESXi.  I personally found that by using a dedicated server to Solutions Enabler and the installation of the client on the server services SRM has been the most elegant implementation.

  • Stimulus package SRM and EMC Mirrorview/S failed

    Hello!

    I have 2 servers, one with ESX 3.5 fU1 Foundation as a protected site and other ESX 3.5 U3 in mode assessment on recovery site.

    CLARiiON CX4-120 with FLARE 4.29 on two sites with fiber mirror active conection.

    Virtual Center 2.5.0 (trial mode), SRM 1.0.1 (trial mode) and EMC MirrorView SRA 1.4.0.15 are installed on both servers.

    I have the virtual machine on Mirrorview/s LUN replicated and SRM connection, management table, the mappings of the inventory and protection group configured on the protected site.

    Plan of stimulus is configured on the recovering site, and when this plan is stable or running - error has occurred (error in the photo and log attached).

    Can you help me? May be a few steps are missing... hm...

    Hi Veli,

    It seems also the newspapers have no consistency groups to be created. It is also a requirement with the SRA Mirrorview (well, it used to be, not sure about the SRA new).

    It might be interesting to look at a doc I wrote on how to implement the Mirrorview and Clariion for MRS.

  • SRM and EMC Clarion

    Hi, quick question, I'll implement a SRM environment using 2 emc cx-420, I configured the storage on both sites and set up areas etc, I presented and configured LUNS on the site of production as vmfs volumes

    My question is, you will need to add on the site dr vmfs LUNS before configuring the srm or is there an intelligent process on the replication san adapter to do this

    You will need create a VMFS volume on protected site, this volume get replicated to the recovery site using berries replication technology. When you do a failover LUNS will be published on the recovering site, hba will be reread and the volume will be resigned. I suggest to start reading the pdf RS admin file that contains a wealth of information:

  • VMware SRM 5.8 and EMC RP

    We have implemented 5.8 SRM with EMC RP 4.1 (array-based replication). Even if we validate us migration we encounter several issues as shown below.

    Thank you!

    Best regards

    Guests of protected sites are restored from sleep mode (DPM is disabled) so that storage can be removed on their part and set to read only.

    I agree with what said GSS, the problem with the LUN downgrade error is very likely with the SRA and that is why EMC. I think as the hosts of the protected site of sleep problem can be linked to that as well (not able to remove LUN?)

    About your VM stopping, you say that the virtual machine stops successfully? The default value is for MRS wait 5 minutes (300 seconds) for closure, if the virtual machine takes more time that you do not want to change the timeout value in the advanced settings.

  • Risks of IE settings: launch programs and dangerous files - enabled for Web Sites

    Hello

    Could someone share with me knowledge about security settings in Internet Explorer?

    The parameter name is:

    Launch programs and dangerous files

    I wonder what the risks are when this setting is "Enabled" for the Internet zone.

    Our client has suffered recently with security warnings when you open a local shortcut. Targets of shortcuts even to local building Windows applications such as Wordpad. And it does not matter where the shortcut is present, whether on office files or local like c:\temp

    The security warning is of type: publication could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?

    The problem only started after the installation of Internet Explorer 11. Customers with the old version of IE does not suffer from this issue.

    We have confirmed two work solutions:

    1. launch programs and potentially dangerous files - enabled for the zone Internet

    2. Add the registry entry:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations]

    «LowRiskFileTypes "=".avi;.» beats;. com;. cmd;. exe;. htm;. HTML;. lnk;. MPG;. MPEG;. MOV;. MP3;. MSI;. M3U;. rar;. Reg;. txt;. vbs;. WAV;. zip; »

    But we would need to know the security risks for the launch of programs and dangerous files - enabled for the Internet zone.

    Somehow, I'm not able to find a good article that describes this feature and risk.

    Or can you suggest an alternative? Could this be caused also by a patch?

    Thanks in advance

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8630: JO 8630 Pro and HP Solution Center work together

    I had a HP Photo Smart C7280 that crashed. I replaced it with this 8630 Pro JO from HP and HP Solution Center software does not take account of the new printer after that the online setup process was completed. I used the software regularly and I would use it in the new printer as well.

    Hello

    HP Solusion Center software has been replaced by the most recent model HP Printer Wizard, it is not affiliated with the 8630 anyway.

    You can access the wizard in the HP printer by opening the software HP Officejet Pro 8630 from your desktop or in the start menu > programs > HP, open the folder that is listed as the printer model and then click the printer model icon.

  • I have problems with the installer of Windows and Windows Update, and the solutions that I found for the two each rely on the other broken system to fix the first.

    I use a laptop HP Pavilion dv4-1220us with Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, a 64-bit operating system, and I have problems with Windows Update and Windows Installer. When I try to install programs, I get the following, or substantially similar message without the error code:

    "Error 1719. The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Contact your support team. »

    So I tried to download Windows Installer 4.5 and install it. When I try to start the installation, it always hangs on the first step, "Initializing Installation."

    After searching for a solution to this problem, I found that Windows Update may have a solution. So I downloaded the 64 bit version and got a file named 'file Windows6. 0-KB942288-v2 - x 64. I tried to run this file. He opened a box that said, in order "Prepare for Installation", "Full Preparation", and finally "Searching for Updates ', before you open a second box, which reads" click OK to install the following Windows software update: fix for Windows (KB942288). I clicked on OK in this box, which opened another box, which says at the top "updates are installed" and in a smaller section, "initializing for Installation................... »

    However, no matter how long it works, it never gets past "Setup initialization."... »

    So I tried to run Windows Update in Control Panel. He ran for a while, before giving a message saying "to check the updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update." I clicked on the button that says "install now". He has flashed, a moment, "download and installation of updates' before you go to the"check for Updates"and then he brought back the exact same upward ' to check updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update" message as before. I clicked install now once again, only to go into the exact same loop. After about four times in a loop, I gave up on it.

    So I tried to install Windows Installer 3.1v2, which took a while before saying "not enough memory is available to process this command." and the abandonment of the installation.

    So, I tried to download a program from 'Mr. Fix - it' of Microsoft. It downloaded fine and then failed on installation, because of the same Setup error I received initially.

    Finally, I tried to restart my computer and each solution is represented. Then I clean my computer and each solution is represented.

    In conclusion, the mistakes that I have in Windows Update and Windows Installer cordoned off each other, as the mistakes of each program are based on the other program to be repaired. I'm at my wit's end here. My computer works fine without one, except that I can't install new programs. I can access the internet fine, access files fine, all my scans have developed own... I don't really know what is happening. Can someone help me with this?

  • What happens when "Still waiting for network when starting the computer and logon" is enabled and that the computer is not connected to the network?

    In MMC, I created the group policy and found through web search that computers with mapped network drives can connect better if "always wait for network when starting the computer and logon" is enabled...  So far, it has been very nice to have allowed.  Is no longer mapped network drives see the place as disconnected.  But what happens if the computer is not connected to a network?  Say the wireless router will turn off and your computer always 'wait...

  • Windows Vista build 6002 this copy of windows is not genuine (but it IS the case - and it is enabled)

    The other windows of day did an automatice update and now the above message appears at the bottom right of my office. However, it is a true copy and it is enabled.

    How can I get rid of this message.

    EDIT: The problem seems to be resolved now

    Your report looks very good.

    The problem is probably due to a race condition that temporarily blocked the operation License Service - including the system then interpreted as an attack on WGA and so marked. Often a reboot clears it, or it disappears when the system is a new trial.

    It may have been a series of updates to .NET the cause - they tend to become pretty much the processor upon restart, while they re - optimize.
