SRM failover 5 but no back

• SRM failover for virtual machines but not all VMDK disks to include

  Hi, I have a number of VMs that need failover protection, but not all the VMDK disks must be included when switching to the opposite site. For example, a virtual machine can have 3 discs and players only need 1 & 2, switch to the recovery site - SRM can be configured to ignore the 3rd disc?

  Thank you

  I was not aware of a fact that replied vmdk cannot be detached. I think that this is normal.

  Why you are replicating data, you do not need? You can place these VMDK on LUN not replicated?

• SRM failover failed with RecoveryPoint

  Hi people,

  We have table RecoveryPoint SRM installation. We have not had any problems with any configuration. But when we have validated the failover we get the following error at recovery steps.

  -Impossible to synchronize the data on the replica consistency group ' *'. Replication is not active for some reason any in the copy of the group.

  I have attached the report of the history of recovery plan for reference. Maybe someone knows what could cause this problem?

  FOR INFO. In RP consistency group strategy, we put "SRM" and managed by "External Application" (this is what our team of storage done if I had no idea what it means). Also I don't know if this is what the origin of the problem.

  Any help would be really appreciated.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Hari.

  We opened the case with VMware and finally settled the issue. Issue was not with RP or RS. It comes with the services of ESXi. When trying to download anything from the data in the local client store it throws the error 'Operation timed out' immediately once start us the download. Then we tried restart ESXi services services.sh restart.for guests. Then everything started working so far. This isn't the same problem reported in known issues in MRS.

  Hope this helps someone.

  Thank you and best regards,

• SRM failover real without bringing down production

  Hi all, I'm under ESX 3.5 U5 and SRM 1.0 Update1. I did a few tests SRM and they all go well. We now have a real failover on our site of DR. The DR site is completely separate from production. The only difference in this real shift is that we will use it as a test, but we do not want RS to stop the virtual machines in the protected area; My question is: can we the power down the protected site of Virtual Center, so there is no communication between the protected site of VC and VC site recovery and avoid powering down of the protected virtual machines? What we have done and has worked in the past is a firewall on the environment of production completely and the VC of recovery site is therefore not able to communicate to the protected site VC and eventually do not power off the coast of the VM protected in production.

  What we're trying to accomplish is to have our failure on VMs in DR communicate with other servers physical and material on the site of DR (completely isolated from production). Unless we can test RS, but instead of creating the network of bubbles recovered virtual computers have access to the DR test so they can access all devices in the vLAN Dr.

  Any input will be greatly appreciated. I always read about how to configure the vSwitch to connect Dr. vLAN and see if that meets our needs.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I'm sure that if protected vCenter is interrupted during failover, VMs will not stop, cause SRM server do not communicate directly, all communication goes through vCenter servers. The stage of 'Shutdown VMs' expires.

  I do not understand completely the second part of your post (on the connection to DR VLAN). Why you want to achieve and in which situation (test / real failover)?

• How granular is SRM failover?

  I know that this is probably a simple question - I've stuck with marketing jargon and just am not not clear on that.

  SRM seeks to recover a site or he can do and also failover individual VMs?

  By example, if I deploy:

  Site A - 40 mV, 4 physical servers, SAN, data stores 4

  Site B - 40 mV, 4 physical servers, SAN, data stores 4

  If I lose 1 server in site a can I served it to Site B or should it be all 40 virtual machines, or entire data store?

  Y at - it a failback option?

  Finally, is it versioning/snapshots, as well as replication (which is managed by the SAN I know not, but are available VM snapshots)?

  Thank you!

  There are some interesting points here...

  First of all, the others in this thead element are correct - SRM failovers all virtual machines in the data store - really the only way to recovery on the VM data store that contains 20 are to have a fair recovery plan for her - place you 19 of the virtual machines in the area "not lit" and the unique virtual machine in the normal priority. The get together 20 recovered during the test - but effectively only a VM would be active. It is a clumsy work-around that could not serve your purpose - and useless if you press run...

  We will have to wait until the berries are VM-ware - where the storage array 'knows' that the volumes/LUNS are formatted for VMFS/NFS and detect the vmx/vmdk file type. Things are going in this direction - the new Clarrion CX4 and Navisphere give you excellent visablity right up to the size and the type of virtual disk – Navisphere VM...

  With regard to what constitutes a failure. To some people will say that the loss of a data store could not be considered as disaster - given that can be recovered by a local kind of snapshot to the table, rather than replication to another geographic location. As ever I guess depends on the size and scope of your infrastructure...

  Finally, automatic failover. With the SDK and some work with .net, it is possible to automate the recovery plans. But I'm his terriritory dangerous - because you could could easily get splitting-brain/false positive. If you look at this kind of availability - maybe a HA cluster stretched with something like Metro of NetApp cluster is was really, should be considered as...

• SRM failover scenarios

  We seek to implement the SRM. However, we have two scenarios for failover

  Senario 1

  Complete failover of datacenter in the DR site (here am sure MRS. works perfectly)

  Senario2

  Partial failover. Here, we would like to switch, a couple of VM for what ever reason at your DR site and still live to the other virtual machines on the production site. So, we'll have images running on the two site. SRM for this? can he not come back images on the production site without disturbing images running? (Sounds messy)

  Depending on your storage provider, how you have your replication architecture (I think you said individual LUN?) then MRS. lets you create 'Plans' as much as you want.  So, in theory, you could have a plan that switches to a particular set of VM, so long as your storage space you would of not only the most without impacting the other 90 you don't want.  Who is?  If really boil you down, all done SRM is what allows you to automate some steps to fail on VM - if you can do these 10 manually without impact on production, then MRS will do it as well.  DESIGN is the key.  We are discovering that we will completely remake how we have our unit number logic and replication configured to give us the most flexibility when it comes to SRM.

  Kind regards...

• Muted but not back on.

  The sound on my pc plays very well until he decides to quit smoking without reason. I did all the checks and he tells me that everything is fine, but then I get an error like this:

  The speaker, headphones or headset is disconnected.

  or

  The device doesn't seem to be connected.

  I have no idea what that means everything worked fine before. I checked the plugs, and they are closely related. Can someone help me understand this. I can come back sound when I reboot, but it could last all day or it could last 5 minutes. I am at a loss here.  Thank you.

  I have the same problem - working away happily then its turns off suddenly.  Cables etc. all to correct them.  Checking the system tells me that the driver is up-to-date.  Reboot always better - until next time.  What is going on?  My browser (Firefox) would be the problem?  Surely his faulty card does not explain what is happening?

• Menu "BOLD" of blackBerry Smartphones changes back to default after changing the battery, but changes back when original battery in

  I wanted some advice about batteries for my Blackberry "BOLD". I bought what was believed be an OEM battery so I had a back up when the original battery ran low on the ground outside, etc. But when I turned off the phone and remove the original OEM battery and place my purchase new battery in the phone, the menu has changed the appearance of the default menu and with no icons email I normally 5. The phone works fine, but the email icons disappeared now. If I replace the 2nd battery with the original OEM battery, he then returned to my menu customized with all the messaging icons in the menu.  Can someone please help with this problem. Is this happening because the 2nd battery purchased well stated as an OEM does not have the secure chip and alleged encryption that is used by the "BOLD" BB Phone to ensure that you are using an authentic product OEM Blackberry? Should I just buy the battery via Blackberry at full price or can I get the other distributors who claim to sell the correct OEM battery with the chip but at 1/2 to 2/3 of the price.  Or all the compatible batteries should operate independently without changing my settings and I may encounter an error with my phone, or is there an option that can be turned off in the phone to stop the resets.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I can't guarantee that the use of the OEM battery will fix the problem.

  I have no experience with Mugen batteries, so I can't help with that.

  I don't think that a battery of expensive means better. Specifications only.

  I buy my OEM batteries with the carrier that sold me the unit.

  It might cost a little more, but peace of mind and no warranty problem

  are worth it.

  I think there is a very good reason that RIM makes batteries,.

  and I am not prepared to find out why!

• Same version SRM between sites, but different versions of ESXi

  Like many people, my recovery site is filled with older hardware. And now we have developed on an issue where ESXi hosts on the recovering site cannot be upgraded to the same version of ESXi as a protected site (protected site = 5.5 U2, recovery site = 5.1 U3).

  The vCenter site recovery is the same as the vCenter in the protected site (5.5 U2), and the SRM on the two sites is the same (5.5).

  Question: this should be OK, right? as long as the vCenter and RS versions on both sites are the same, I have different versions of the ESXi servers, without problem? (assuming that I keep an eye on the VMtools version and versions of VMS virtual material, so I do not use anything that is not supported on the recovering site)

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can have different versions of ESXi server, but you should check if these versions are supported by the version of MRS who is 5.5 in your case.

  SRM 5.5 does not manage ESXi 5.5 u2 and u3 5.1.  SRM 5.5.1 supports ESXi 5.5 u2 but it does not support ESXi 5.1 u3.

  If can use SRM 5.5.1 and downgrade 5.1 to 5.1 u2 u3 which is supported.

  BTW, vCenter version is 5.5 u2 is supported with MRS. 5.5.1.x.

  Thank you

• Data store 'datastore1' is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (.), but is back different physical storage

  Hello

  I am new to vCenter Server, so you can assume that I'm missing something obvious.

  I installed vCenter Server 5.5 and one of the two hosts of re-usable ESXi 5.0.0 connected correctly. When I try to connect to the second 5.0.0 ESXi host, I get the error message:

  Data store 'datastore1' is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (.), but is supported by different physical storage

  I Googled it and found what I think are the best answers that are successful, but they all seem pretty unique in their situation (they have a cluster, I do not have) etc. Some solutions involve disconnecting the store of data and reconstruction of things. I would not make things worse and can live without doubt with the help of vSphere client (and not the web client) until maybe I can start again with a 5.5 installation to a new host once I have back up everything from the host unconnectable. I closed all the VM on the host of the second. I have put in maintenance mode. I've renamed the data store, all to nothing does not.

  Thanks in advance

  The problem is that a whole army could not be connected to vCenter due to the problem, the solution involving disconnection of the host apply.

  Here is how I solved the problem:

  1 use the client vSphere client heavy, connect you to the host that cannot not be connected to vCenter Server.

  2. click on the host computer, and then click the Configuration tab.

  3. click on "storage".

  4. find the offending on the right data store.

  5. right click on the data store incriminated and click 'remove '.

  6. click on 'Add storage' in the top right.

  7. follow the steps to find this data not mounted store. I gave him a new name just to be sure, even if it's probably not necessary.

• * Flash animation loop but going back to the first image {want to hold on to the last image}

  I came across this article in loop animations = http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/how-to-loop-three-times

  I am a novice with flash and just try to connect to some place ads and make it work for the first time.

  Everything worked for me in the article... the only thing I wanted to do, but you have not found that the answer to how do to stop the animation on the last frame after a loop is completed, instead of automatically return to the first image is?

  What is the most easy/most effective way for this?

  The shutdown script does not work... still goes back to the first image.

  For all my flash ads, imported FLV video... so I don't know if this is a feature for flv / video that auto-rewinds to first frame...

  Thank you very much, really appreciate any idea on it.

  The sooner you can take a minute to return best

  you add your video in the timeline.

  Add a stop() in the correct location works for me: create a new layer, insert a keyframe in this layer to the last video image and add a stop() in Control Panel actions.
