SRM vSphere possible replication or SAN?

Similar Questions

• Simple question vSphere replication NAS/SAN

  We have two remote sites running vSphere and our main office, also running vSphere.  We think of you use vSphere replication to provide a DR solution for two of our critical applications in these remote sites.  One of these applications is running on a virtual machine on the remote site and is connected to a NetApp NAS.  The second application is using EMC SAN to the other remote site.  Our main office using EMC SAN for our vSphere.

  I have a few questions about it.

  1 can use replication of vSphere on the site that uses the NetApp storage?  Will be replicated on our main site, EMC SAN disk data on NetApp storage?

  2. don't only need 1 unit of replication vSphere on the site of the main office?  And then another at each remote site?  Or do we need a separate vSphere replication device at Headquarters for each remote site?

  Thank you.  Sorry for the newb questions.

  Hello

  1 vSphere replication is independent of the peripheral type storage. The changes are to the hard level. You can use different bays of storage on different sites.

  2. If the remote sites have their own server vCenter Server, then you need a VR device at a remote site. If all sites are under same vCenter Server, then you need a device of VR. VRMS (server administration VR) is extension of vCenter Server and there's only a VRMS will be deployed by vCenter Server. The combined unit of VR contains VRMS + embedded DB for server VRMS + VR. There are also some additional device VR-server only, in case you have some hosts within the same server vCenter Server, but on a larger distance and replication traffic can benefit if she moves directly to the VR server closed to the target data store.

• Replicate the VMS with FTP and VM with virtual disk shared by: SRM with vSphre replication

  I have a VM and FT is configured on it. Now I can reproduce the virtual machine with SRM with replication of vSphere. I have not configured array based replication. Similarly, I have two DB VMs cluster, but they share a virtual disk between them. Can I replicate these VMs DB with vSphere replication?

  Your valuable contribution is much appreciated.

  I got the answer, for the virtual machine with FT and shared virtual disk replication, to do SRM with array based replication. vSphere replication cannot replicate virtual machine with FT or shared disk.

• vSphere device Replication Manager will not deploy

  Dear people of the future: this is what we have found so far: (http://xkcd.com/979/)

  Install us a vCenter Site Recovery Manager system and have a devil of a time on a vCenter deploy the model to the OVF for the VR device. Error message is "the OVF package uses features that are not supported. "Unsupported section ' {http://www.vmware.com/schema/ovf} vServiceDependencySection' (Extension of vCenter vService dependency)"

  A vCenter is protected and has successfully complete connection, mapping and created the placeholders with vCenter B (off site). When I go to step of the vSphere replication 1 to deploy the aircraft, the model of the FVO shows the correct location of my vCenter server and two servers RS for A and B are configured the same (physical SRM with SQL 2 k 8, vCenter virtual appliance).

  I can force it to use the model of the FVO directly from my SRM server, but then the vSphere replication process will not go past step 2 (reconfigure the VR device).

  In addition, I don't see a "VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices" service on the vCenter server A or B so I don't think that is the question.

  Thoughts?

  Victor.

  He solved. When I went to run updates on the server vCenter Server, he said that it was waiting for a reboot because of previous updates. A bounced and everyone is happy! Thank you for helping me to talk about it through!

• vSphere port replication group

  What type of failover policy is necessary for a port of dvs group used for replication of vSphere? (active / active)?  (active / standby?)

  I recommend always to use Active/active, unless there is a reason not to. For example, if you have two cards of VMkernel iSCSI on the same subnet and you must use the binding of ports.

• not displayed in the web client vSphere applianced replication

  Hello guys,.

  I have just deployed a new VRA (the only one and 1 in my vCenter) and everything looked ok.

  But when I am connected to my VRA list webclient is empty under replication vSphere.

  I had 2 devices, but each of them is saved in a different vCenter to maintain the 1:1 relationship.

  Now all are gone and not displayed, any idea?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello, I managed to solve the problem.

  I had performance problems on my web client and I had to restart the WebClient service.

• vSphere 5 drs through san storage separated 2

  Would hi be possible installation storage drs 2 SAN storage?

  To add to that, Yes, it shouldn't be a problem. You can use Storage DRS through multiples of SEM, as long as all guests can see the LUN. Keep in mind however, DRS of storage is not particularly aware of the disks you join, so ideally you want to keep all quite similar - I would not, for example, use the DRS of storage in a cluster with disks SATA and SAS - he would be an impact of significant performance according to the records for the servers had put on which LUN...

  Storage DRS will separate disks if must - if you have several drives assigned to a server, they could potentially find themselves on LUN in a storage DRS cluster. Really, this isn't a bad thing if all of the LUNS is at the same level of performance, just something to know...

• SRM/vSphere Essentials

  I doubt that this is possible, but I check for a customer. Will be for vSphere

  Essentials Plus work with MRS, assuming that they bought (2) packages?

  Thanks in advance!

  According to http://communities.vmware.com/thread/210202 (see the post of depping) it should generally work, however, you can also read in this thread, there are limits due to features (not) included in the edition of Essentials.

• SRM - HP EVA replication Question

  Hi people,

  Just need some advice - there are 2 Options of Configuration Command View EVA. It's the HP EVA virtualization Adapter Administrator Guide:

  There are two configuration options for the recovery environment disaster with SRM and HP EVA

  Adapter of Virtualization:

  • Command View EVA single Active Server in this configuration, the management of Command View EVA

  Server manages the protected bays and active recovery. A second Command View EVA

  Management Server manages protected and recovery bays passively.

  NOTE:

  In this configuration (during a failover failover or test) if the primary discovers EVA site command is

  down, Command View EVA to recovery site is obliged to actively manage the collection table.

  • Command View EVA server assets Split in this configuration, each direction of Command View EVA

  Server actively manages a single table (the local). Each direction of Command View EVA

  Server manages the remote table passively.

  My admin storage can only configure one active. I was setting up SRM earlier and arrived at the Array Manager section. What I leave me puzzled, it's when I pointed at DR SRM on the DR EVA Command View server IP it cannot connect. I logged in EV Command View rd to discover it was controlled by the EVA Command View Server Production - it is when the storage administrator showed me that it had configured Active unique. This mean I point times SRM managers table on the Command View EVA main site server IP? I did Labs with LeftHand VSA and it just seems odd to me, I don't know how MRS. will work if the main site is down?

  It would really help if a person who has set up an EVA could point me in the right direction with this!

  Thank you all!

  Mike

  P.S. If you receive error "Unable to launch SAN integration scripts to execute the command of discoverLuns", a renumerisations LUN twice in ESX, go out ViClient and log back with ViClient seemed to fix for me.  Script calls not rescan LUNS correctly.

  It is in the form of config of the sra, page 15 of the Guide EVA SRA Admin check

  It's weird. I thought the format was: 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2

  It goes the same for the password.

• ESX 3.5 upgrade to VSphere 4, question of SAN.

  First time poster long time reader and disgester of all.  Thanks for all the info everyone.

  We manage all the IBM HS21XM blades.  We have all our warehouses of VM data on a San and the guests all have the ESX OS on the local blade HARD drive.  On the KB update: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1009039 it says on the step 5 Note ESX Server to physically disconnect the fiber during the upgrade.

  Since we are in a blade chassis that will cut all of our ESX host.  So it's kind of bad for us during the opening hours.

  My question is is in the chassis and by disabling the good enough to meet this stage port of host level or the fiber must be disconnected from the chassis?

  Thank you. Mike

  step 5 is just a security measure to ensure that warehouses data on SAN used be disturbed during the upgrade. It is not required of disconnect\disable SAN LUNS before starting the upgrade.

  Compared with 3.5, 4.0 upgrade mechanism is different, SAN data warehouses will not be disturbed in the current method of upgrade.  So far I have strength hear any question saying upgrade disturbed warehouses of data on SAN 4.0 updated.

  Kind regards

• SRM will run on a San with HP EVA 3000?

  As far as I can 'google' MRS. only is not supported on a HP EVA 3000.

  Is this correct? Or are there other ways/solutions to use SRM on an EVA 3000

  Thanks in advance

  Check the official documentation: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/srm_10_compat_matrix.pdf

  It is updated at any time.

  If she's not here, the best to check with HP's storage provider that writes the SRA.

• Is it possible to install oracle fail-safe-kind-of (active-passive) SAN replication for oracle?

  Dear Experts,

  Is it possible to configure replication of SAN (active-passive) integrated security for oracle for oracle?

  To get the RTO < 60 seconds

  • If the primary host fails, the remote site should have the option to start the oracle database.
  • Sites are geographically remote.

  SAN storage replication, can it be used in my scenario?

  • I have no option to implement oracle Data Guard as its very expensive.

  Is that what someone achieved something similar with SAN storage replication?

  • I have oracle SE.
  • It is obvious that the all-flash backup can be quick.

  What should be the strategy to have DR site get a few seconds, if the primary site failed for some reason any

  • Daily incremental backup with RMAN. And archive backup runs for every 1 minutes
  • To have the site of DR upward and running within 60 seconds, it still requires too much time to restore the database on remote site and have archive APPLIED setpoint
  • What could be the solution with san replication? RTO is 60 seconds

  Thanks and greetings

  SAN storage replication, can it be used in my scenario?

  I have no option to implement oracle Data Guard as its very expensive.

  --> If you want to use the data that it is free of CHARGE, additional license is not required for normal data guard

  --> additional license is only for the ADG

  Is that what someone achieved something similar with SAN storage replication?

  I have oracle SE.

  It is obvious that the all-flash backup can be quick.

  --> Here, I understand that if oraclle EA is going to be expensive

  --> Again, you can use manual standby

  --> What you are looking for SAN replication, you will need to check with the storage vendor

  --> If your intention is to check with oracle storage, then this may be the correct discussion room

  What should be the strategy to have DR site get a few seconds, if the primary site failed for some reason any

  Daily incremental backup with RMAN. And archive backup runs for every 1 minutes

  To have the site of DR upward and running within 60 seconds, it still requires too much time to restore the database on remote site and have archive APPLIED setpoint

  What could be the solution with san replication? RTO is 60 seconds

• vSphere replication vs. SRM

  What are the basic factors which would lead me to choose replication or SRM vsphere in a client environment?

  You ask a comparison of replication on Bay with SRM vs vSphere replication and SRM (SRM can use both) or ask about the differences between replication vSphere autonomous vs. SRM (with an RV or ABR)?

  If this is the first I would recommend this post: Articles VMware SRM - vs vSphere - VMware vSphere Blog - replication array-based replication

  If it's the second, VR does not include all the orchestration, test, reporting and class DR SRM operating company, but allows a protection individual VM and recovery into or through the clusters.  VR works to retrieve a few (less than 5-10) virtual machines as the recovery process must be made individually for each virtual computer. As mentioned made autonomous VR default orchestration, automation, without interruption of service analysis and account of the capabilities of MRS. VR is included in vSphere Essentials more than regulation or newer, the SRM is a VM or per CPU license (within vCloud Suite Enterprise).

• On the replication SRM 5.5 and vsphere

  Hi guys,.

  using Mrs. 5.5 and replication of vsphere can I do a first replica of virtual machine with a manual copy or clone on the remote site and after synchronization with replication or srm vsphere virtual machine?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I assume that when the source of the VM is turned on, the disks (-flat.vmdk files) are locked and that's the reason to download drives while the virtual machine is turned off.

  The virtual machine can be powered on once the disc has been downloaded/copied.

  An alternative approach, if you have enough free space on the source website - you can clone the virtual machine, without any power off and download the clone disks.

  The clone operation may change the value of ddb.uuid in hard files. Make sure that it matches the value in the hard of source files and if not, change it manually. Another configuration of replication will fail if this value does not match.

  Kind regards

• replication of vSphere in SRM 5.1

  I know that replicaion of vsphere support reprotect and recovery in SRM 5.1.

  In our environment, I am using vcenter 5 u1 to manage several u1 5.0 esxi hosts.

  I intend to deploy MIS. What version of SRM to install the thought. (SRM 5.0 or 5.1 SRM)

  If I decide to deploy SRM 5.1, I improve vCenter 5.1 prior to installation of the SRM 5.1. vCenter 5.1 can support ESXi 5.1 and 5.0 ESXi hosts.

  I want to know if I need to use the feature of vsphere SRM 5.1 replication, what I need to improve 5.0 to 5.1 ESXi ESXi? Dungeon using ESXi 5.0?

  Any mention of the document?

  Hello

  To be specified. You have three options.

  With SRM:

  1. 2 vCenter and 2 servers RS servers. At version 5.1.

  Without RS (no testing and no reprotect):

  2. 2 5.1 vCenter servers.

  3. 1 vCenter server 5.1 (what is called single instance)

  So, if you want to test and automatic failover your choice is option #1.

  Michael.
