The goal of the "VMware-mount Service for Site Recovery Manager" Service?

Hello

We experienced a problem return to SAN replication recently after the maintenance of software packages. When we stopped all services SRM replication started. We could then restart RS and everything was fine. One of the services that we had to stop was the "VMware ride Service for Site Recovery Manager. This does not normally work however and the start is set to manual. I made several test stimulus plans last weekend and has never seen work. Anyone know what is this service?

Thank you

Mike

There literally this name...?

Normally, the Assembly in vCenter service is used by sysprep/deploy process...

Sysprep is used by SRM as one of the methods for re-IP-ing a VM, I think we can assume the of the same kind of service, but for a different purpose...

  • investigating the potential use of the Site Recovery Manager

    We are looking for site recovery manager.   We will use this as part of our DR solution for some virtual machines in our main data center.  I gather specifications on what equipment would be needed to the main data center and the data center of failover.  I was wondering if I could use the material of the Datacenter for failover as a development environment when nothing is failed over to it.  When there is a failover situation either of the tests or a real failover I would have built in that the development environment is stop so resources can be used for site recovery manager.

    Is that what a realistic configuration that I have not dug into the details of the Site Recovery Manager at this time.

  • Unable to connect to the VMware web service: invalid key file

    Hello

    We have a CPO 2.3.1 who refuses to connect to vCenter (see newspaper excerpt at the end of the post).

    Recently, we changed our server vCenter (part of a 5.1 update).

    We tried the following workarounds:

    • Remove and add all the elements of the platform from the portal using services SE
    • Re import automation packs (4 of the Starter Edition v2.3.1.38)
    • Re on the keystore password

    No change at all...

    Do you have an idea on how to fix this?

    Thank you.

    You have an invalid key file because the HTTPS certification has changed. You must remove the old keystore file and restart the OPC Server and then reconnect / run something against vCenter.

    It is also possible to host Adatper framework/java problems I've seen often.

    If you need more information, you will need to prosecute TAC with your service contract please. Normally, we try to solve no newspapers on the forums.

    Please refer to the URL: Documentation VMware Site Recovery Manager for more detailed instructions.

    Important

    Check that there is no cleanup operation pending on recovery plans and there is no problem of configuration for the virtual machines that protects the Site Recovery Manager.

    1 all the recovery plans are in ready state.

    2 the protection status of all protection groups is OK.

    3 the status of the protection of all the individual virtual machines in the protection groups is OK.

    4 the recovery of all groups of protection status is ready.

    5. If you have configured the advanced settings in the existing installation, note settings you configured before the upgrade.

    6 the vCenter local and remote server instances must be running when you upgrade the Site Recovery Manager.

    7 upgrade all components Server vCenter Site Recovery Manager on a site until you upgrade vCenter Server and Site Recovery Manager on the other site.

    8 download the setup of Site Recovery Manager file in a folder on the machines to be upgraded the Site Recovery Manager.

  • How to UNLOCK the button "Remember passwords for sites" in Tools/Options/Security.

    I followed the instructions for the 'Password Manager settings':

    Firefox will remember the default passwords. You may have turned this feature off, or told Firefox to never remember passwords for a particular site.

    . At the top of the Firefox window, click the Tools menu and select Options.
    . Select the Security Panel.
    . If it is not already checked, check Remember password for sites.

    HOWEVER, the button "Remember passwords for sites" is blocked.

    Note that you are currently in private browsing mode, according to the list of system details:

    • Browser.privatebrowsing.AutoStart = True

  • Site Recovery Manager is certified for the recovery of the database?

    Hi all

    I is currently exploring the possibility of using the Site Recovery Manager for database DR scenarios.

    Before you go more away and actually try to run some scenarios, I'd be interested if someone of you has tried to do the same thing and if you actually managed to go beyond the situation of disaster, i.e. with primary VM [stop] down, then activating the VM DR.

    Another important aspect, I would be interested is the certification: the Site Recovery Manager is certified for the recovery of the VMS running databases?

    And if so, what data is it certified by: Oracle 10/11, SQL Server 2005/2008, DB2 9.x, etc.?

    If the answers are well known to my question, please just point me to the right source by a link - that should be enough.

    Thank you

    At EMC, we use this definition (which is fairly common):

    Uniform crash means that all devices in a given consistency group are writing order in line at a point in time.  If an application can recover from an accident, such as would be seen with a power failure or any other event of failure, then the application can recover from failover.

    While I can't give you a solution, I can share that I had a similar problem with an SRM installation.  Like yours, mine was a working facility which, for some strange reason, began to exhibit the same symptoms.  Start the service, in a second or two, stopped service.

    I opened a ticket with VMware on the issue and in more than three months of back and fourth Exchange with various Tech support I have ever received a satisfactory answer on what caused it.  The 'solution' they gave me was to remove the database SQL RS and re - install SRM.  This 'solution' has worked, but if this question comes up, I'll probably have to back unpleasant, emphasizing the fact that they solve the problem.

    I wish I could be more help, but that's it.  I feel your pain.
