• SRM protection associations invalidated if have the discs and tapes replicates of the same volume

  Replication to disk via snapmirror (Netapp / IBM Nseries) and replicating also on tape.  SRM protection associations are invalidated because automatic scan of the data store is replicated volumes and ignores those with multiple targets.  Receive messages as follows.  Any ideas how to fix or work around this problem?  Thank you.

• Single unit with multiple clusters CCM

  I know that this horse has been beaten to death, but I couldn't find a specific answer to my question.

  I understand with multiple clusters, each CCM to the unit calls go on Ports configured as such in each cluster. I also understand that MWI notification is sent by the highest numbered track and he's working his way down until it is successful. What I don't understand, is how to transfer out of the unit for the expansion of the Subscriber. How do I know what CCM Cluster to send the call to unity? He sends it on the main cluster and this group is responsible for the routing of the call on an inter-cluster trunk? Or should he behave as MWI where he tries to send calls from the highest numbered port until it is able to place the call?

  All calls from the unit (transfer and the identical outdials notification message) are only made on a port, the call is not retried on other ports like MWIs.

  The difference is that for communications, the unit will use the last available on the last group port. If you need to have put ICT in place correctly so the call can get routed to the correct phone on another cluster.

  For transfers, the unit will initiate the transfer using the same port that the call is entered in the. So if the transfer is supposed to go to a phone on a different cluster, yet once you have your ICT implemented between clusters so that the unit can transfer a call from one group to the other.

  In both cases, the unit simply connect, he does not know if the phone is in the same cluster or another cluster. So you must make sure that the dial string that uses the unit, as well as models of dial in CCM, download the call routed correctly through the TIC.

• vROPs and SRM - protected Machines and placeholder VMs have different guest free space operating system

  Hi all

  Question: Home - health - screen 'one or more machines virtual comments file systems are running out of disk space' has different values for MRS. protect VMs and VMs placeholder.

  Someone has to meet a gap with machines SRM protected value of free space of different OS comments that the position expressed VM?   I've been enforcing a cleaning of the guests with < 5% free space.  When we clean up the comments, the alert is cleared almost immediately on the VM protégé (power on), but the position expressed VM is never a present according to vROPs value.

  Is this a known issue? Is the problem with SRM or vROPs.  Are the vCenters related with MRS supported?

  I'm under vRops 6.2.0.3528905 build 3528905.  We use array based replication and have a GB link between sites.  Replication occurs in less than 5 minutes, so this shouldn't be a problem.  I can still see the question once a day and VMS space have yet to synchronize or to get close in value to their counterpart protect VM.

  Thank you

  So after a discussion with the SRM team and vRealize Operations Manager, has identified vRealize treated VMs placeholder as ordinary VMs.   The interesting thing is that when a failover test is running that hard drives are connected to the VM placeholder.  All the information from disk are ingested in the vCenter site recovery.   Later this was my problem.  I had to open a feature request.  If any of you are in the same boat please do the same so they'll add logic in to MRS.   At the moment my solution was to create a dynamic group for turning off VMs and join the dynamic group to a policy with disabled alarms.

• SRM protected LUN and RecoverPoint replicated Lun

  We run VMware SRM 5.0 and RecoverPoint 3.4 SP2.  Running 5.0 ESXi and vCenter 5.0. The problem that we get and the VMware SRM and EMC RP support response are conflicting with each other.  Our SRM failover process failed because the DR replicated LUNs was not detected during the scan HBA.  VMware support said that the replicated LUN doesn't have to be added to the storage of VMware on our VNX5300 (DR) group.  Logic unit number is added to the storage PR group.  SRM/RP will present the LUN in VMware as part of the SRM failover process.  EMC, tells us that the replica LUN must be present in VMware and storage of RP group.

  The failover process does not end until we added the LUNs replicated in the VMware storage group.  However, we have tested previously other SRM protected LUNS and this has never been necessary.  Can anyone provide specific details on RecoverPoint requirement to add the LUNS replicated in the VMware storage group?

  Thank you

  EMC is correct!  The target of replication LUNS must be in a group of storage with your hosts ESXi on the VNX for a test to run successfully.  I'll usually create a storage for a VMware cluster group, add LUN replication target and leave them there.  Of course, the Group of storage for all data, journal and repository LUN RecoverPoint must also exist with all the Rwandan Patriotic Army.

• VADP recovery Issues for SRM protected VM

  We get the following error when you try to retrieve a picture VADP level backup to a virtual machine that has been protected using MRS:

  Configuration of the VM invalid or not taken care of.

  vSphere replication does not support change the length of a replicated disk.

  We have the SRM protection set up between two sites, but also have a third isolated site used for DR tests I need to restore the SRM protected computers. This site is an installation vCenter vanilla and 3 only vSphere hosts. I can recover backups VADP for unprotected MRS. fine of VM, however, trying to recover a virtual machine that has been protected using SRM in the production site, I get the error.

  We are running vSphere 5.0.1 and using EMC Networker 7.6 SP4 for backup and restore.

  I raised a call with VMware, but they seem uncertain. Has anyone seen this problem before?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Just to provide an update for this problem incase anyone attempting the same process:

  VMware support reported:

  ********************************************************************************************************************************************

  It seems Networker following this process:

  -saves a copy of the VMX file during the backup (instead of obtaining the ConfigInfo to the virtual machine via the API)

  -during the restoration, it copies the VMX file to the data store (instead of creating/reconfigure the computer based on the registered ConfigInfo virtual).

  -register the VMX

  -Reconfigure the VMX recorded to create discs

  This will not work if the virtual machine is being restored to the same data store and has access to the original disks. If the virtual machine is being restored to another location where is has no access to the original disks, they create the disks but the VMX still has replication configuration entries that say that these discs are being replicated. When HBR checks the request reconfigures, he sees that the disk is 'change '. In this case, it checks if the length of old drive and the new drive is identical and fails reconfigures her request if the sizes don't match. But as the old records are no longer available, HBR does not find the old disk size and it may appear 0 in the ConfigInfo. So it fails the operation of education reconfigures.

  If he had followed the supported method for restoring the virtual machine by using the API to create, they would not run on this issue. However, I think that even in this case he might still have some problems in some scenarios where only some drives are restored (for example, the data store from one of the disks)
  is lost), but as long as partners of backup using the API, workaround for these rare cases would be to restore the entire VM.

  ********************************************************************************************************************************************

  I have raised this with EMC who said:

  ********************************************************************************************************************************************

  NetWorker has not qualified for SRM + Vshpere replication (which was confirmed by ENG_team). Eng-team approves then it will be open to support. In this case, we can have support call with VMware to solve the problem. Since it has not been tested with Networker, we cannot go further to discuss with VMware or troubleshoot.

  Yes you are right to say that, if networker VMware interviews there may be solutions to the problem you have. But unfortunately at the moment, it is not seems to be possible; While networker code was not prepared to support SRM + replication Vsphere.

  ********************************************************************************************************************************************

  EMC then referenced the following link:

  http://solutions.EMC.com/emcsolutionview.asp?ID=esg130882

  It seems that for the foreseeable future NetWorker will not support VADP image backups restore if the virtual machine is also protected by using VMware SRM.

• Can you share a store of data across multiple Clusters?

  I was wondering if you can share a data store through multiple clusters with no locking problems. Unique data center, but several Clusters (Esxi 4 and 5). LUN to be shared between the Clusters are VMFS3.

  A few pros and cons can be found in the statutes...

  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/02/05/storage-masking/

  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2012/09/21/say-goodbye-to-the-transfer-LUN-aka-swing-LUN-aka-stepping-stone/

  Concerns would be a condition of ODA impacting more of 1 bunch, so the ability for a declared LUN from several hosts of multiple clusters.

  The original use case as a swing-LUN for the migration of virtual machines between clusters, but that is no longer necessary in vSphere 5.1 with enhanced features of vMotion.

• Can we host a single pool on multiple clusters?

  We have a floating pool hosted on a single cluster on our main site. We have another site with a separate group that could be used to host some of the virtual machines in this floating pool. So, we ask if it is possible to accommodate this unique floating pool on multiple clusters?

  When we edit the settings of the pool she only allows us to select the single cluster. Of course, the simple answer is to create another pool, but until we do, we wanted to check if there is another way.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Lane.

  It is not possible today. A server connection group manages information of its swimming pool within its data store. Another group creates its own data store and server groups share information through them today.

• How to configure multiple clusters on the same machine.

  I'm trying to configure multiple clusters on the same set of machines. I put the name of the cluster and multiple cases IP addresses different for each cluster. However I am still in train and error stating:
  "This indicates that there are multiple clusters on this network, try to use network configurations that overlap.
  
  Isn't this possible? If it is possible, is it still possible that I need to tell the virtual machines that they belong to different groups?

• How to exclude SRM protected VM

  Hi all

  I work with the (5.7.1) trial to see if it would suit my needs for the VM monitoring company, and I have a specific question. We also use the SRM and the recovering site is also included in vCenter Operations Manager, because it's our second data center. All protected VMs show as being off, which is annoying. I want to know if it is possible to exclude all the virtual machines that are located on the placeholder data store (we have only a single placeholder datastore).

  Let me know what is possible, excluding the placeholder data store would be the best option, or excluding the virtual machines or the cluster may be an option.

  Thanks in advance for answers!

  Kind regards

  Sjoerd Hooft

  If we exclude the data store entirely get you want, you wouldn't, as VMs sitting higher up in the hierarchy of perm of security. You must 'Access forbidden' in the view models & VM virtual machine and "possibly" the view of guests & Clusters completely eliminate resources collection.

• 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.

• password protect multiple PDFs

  I'm trying to password protect approximately 1000 pdf files and I can't find any useful article about this problem. I use Adobe Acrobat XI. I tried with Acrobat X and it worked, but when I try to create an action in Acrobat XI, it works only if I open each file individually. Is there a way I can apply this action to multiple files?

  Hi asdfzxcvm,

  Please select 'Add files' in the dropdown menu drop-down and select the files on which you want to add a protection.

• Tools of Cisco first conjunction and multiple Clusters

  I'm on the underside of the UC Applications:

  CUC - 10.5.1
  REB - 10.0.2
  UCCX - 10.5.1
  CUPS - 10.5.2

  Deployment of privileged Collaboration - 10.5.1
  Insurance of Collaboration - 10.5.0
  First supply of Collaboration - 10.5.0
  First Manager of licenses - 10.0.1

  I'm looking to install a different Cluster CUCM with connecting the unit and Cisco Unified presence running the version 11.X.

  I need to strengthen my first to more management tools later in order to manage the two clusters?  Will it affect my 10.5.X apps if I do?

  CJ

  You will need 11 PC. x to pick up new support of CUCM 11.x.

  I would upgrade to the last PC which is 11.5 for APC and 11.2 of the CFP (although the CFP 11.5 released this month).  10.x apps will not notice the change.

  Follow-up will show the results of these clusters of 10/11 and PCP knows the difference between the settings and services on groups of 10/11.

• SRM protected VM SVM

  Hello

  We must extend the disk space for 1 protégé of the virtual computer running in the 800 GB replicated data store, which is running on the space. Currently there are 3 VMs in the data store. Our storage team has decided to provide more great replicated LUN size 1 TB, so that we can SVM all 3 protected again replicated VM DS (1 to) and then to increase disk space. Once all the 3 VM migrated to the new 1 TB lun and then storage team will claim the old replicated lun. What happens if we move all 3 protected a new store of data replicated virtual machine? Please suggest how to proceed. Do we need to make changes if we a small yellow triangle associated in the protection group.  Thank you

  Once connected to vCenter, go to the home page-> Solutions-> Site Recovery Manager-> Protection groups and select the Protection Group for the virtual machines that you moved, from Control Panel, click on modify Protection Group... Follow the instructions in the wizard, and select the newly added data store.
