vCloud Air Disaster Recovery - vSphere replication of specific records

In the most recent documentation for vSphere replication, the ability to select specific disks when you replicate a single workload is described:

Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5

However, in the videos of vCloud Air DR, this option is not currently available. Is - this specific to Air DR vCloud or some videos of previous versions?

  • Disaster recovery with replication for VSphere

    Am just test VSphere 5 of replication. with a couple of test VMs

    The replication process works very well

    What I want to know is the process to recover a VM replicated to new hardware in the case of the complete failure of the original host and/or data store

    In essence, disaster recovery.

    Are there other parts (software), that I need to take the replica VMDK and files related to re - create a new virtual machine on a new host

  • Oracle Database Disaster Recovery SAN replication consistency

    Hi all

    just a quick question after a long search and not yet knowing the answer.

    What technology or configuration do I need make the eve of Oracle DB compatible on asynchronous SAN replication between cities?

    The version is Oracle Standard Edition 11 g, then the enterprise like DataGuard and GoldenGate features aren't possible?

    Entire database replication Oracle Streams don't work?

    Hello

    You can do it yourself (as everyone else used to do many years ago), to a product like dbvisit which is popular in this space (never used, but I heard good things about this). Streams can do it, but I think he uses triggers rather than redo log mining so he can have more impact on the source system.

    SAN replication is possible but probably very expensive and you should be sure it correctly handles oracle blocks - the seller must be able to tell if it is certified or not.

    See you soon,.

  • #AVCA vCloud AIR and private Cloud

    If our customers have a few SDDC (private Cloud) in its data center if there's opportunity to create the DR site in vCloud Air and replicate all virtual machines to the cloud.

    If after that a disaster in SMV primary location should be available for the customer? (I predict customer should have a specific configuration and product for the replication of all virtual machines of their datacenter to vCloud Air?)

    Hi Sebastian,.

    Yes, vCloud Air Disaster Recovery allows to easily backup and catering for your workloads cloud virtualized (and not virtualized using one of our third party partners), using management tools you already use on-Prem when your customer subscribes to vCloud Air Disaster Recovery, they will be able to select vCloud Air as a backup destination for their VMs within vCloud Director (see link below for a tutorial video demonstration of this action).  vCloud Air Disaster Recovery using vSphere replication to manage failover and failback of the virtual machines.  It does not require a separate, purchase everything necessary to facilitate backup and restore is included in the price of subscription vCloud Air Disaster Recovery.

    If the client experiences a disaster, they will be able to turn the virtual machines that they were back up to the cloud (up to 15 minutes RPO), in the Air of vCloud.  They have 30 days to use their ability subscribed free of charge, with the possibility of adding more resources, if necessary.

  • 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).

  • vSphere replication - unidirectional replication


    Hello.

    I was wondering if someone could please shed some light on a question that I have in relation to vSphere replication and unidirectional replication that I am struggling to find all related documentation.

    We have two sites hosting a cluster ESXi 5.0 on each site. I've set up vSphere replication between the two groups reproducing a number of virtual machines from Site B to Site A. Virtual machines are, fortunately, replication between sites, but I am now at a point where I want to stop replication and use virtual machines to the Site. I don't want to reproduce back to Site B, even disaster.

    I created a Protection Group and a Recovery Plan and successfully migrated a test of the virtual machine to the Site I have is no longer necessary for replication, or the copy of the virtual machine to Site B. I have loked "Remove replication" on the virtual machine, but according as I read this will actually delete the virtual machine at the replicate site , that is, Site A (where I want now, run the virtual machine of).

    How can I better remove replication without destryoing the Site A virtual machine? Can I just delete the virtual machine on Site B from the disk?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    See you soon

    Hello

    If you got your virtual machines from site B to site A, then you can remove safely from the replication using the button to delete the replication. This will simply erase your replication. It will not remove the VMs running at the site has recovered.

  • Unable to connect target - vSphere replication Sites

    I hope someone here can help me understand a problem connecting between my two servers of VRM.

    Background:

    After passage of 6.0U2 5.5, I had problems with re-login Site Recovery Manager. Because SRM was not really in use yet (testing), I decided to redeploy fresh from the base, including replication of vSphere components.

    After removing all the rehearsals and not record old vSphere replication devices, I transferred the latest packages of EGGS to the VRM.  Everything was fine.  I have updated certificates for certificates customized our company certification and placed the root certificate in the file /opt/vmware/hms/security/hms-truststore.jks .  Then, I recorded each VRM with their respective vCenters and had no problems.

    1.png

    Both VRM active lounge and OK in vSphere replication of the Web Client:

    2.png

    When you attempt to connect to the target Site, the following error is received:

    3.png

    But then in the list of tasks, it ends with success and shows the connection, but with a connection problem error:

    4.png

    This is the architecture of our PSC and vCenters and each VRM.  All use of our certification of Enterprise SSL certificates:

    5.png

    There is no firewall between one of these servers.

    HMS logs are attached here as well.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    After that I originally posted this, a new version of vSphere replication was released.  After the upgrade to the latest version, my problem magically disappeared.

  • vSphere replication when vCenter is down / crashed

    I turn to convert our environment of re-usable in a VMware HA cluster, with MRS with vSphere replication Dr.

    I want to know what will happen with the vSphere replication in either of the following scenarios

    1. A: vCenter Server running, Site B: vCenter Server of the site down
    2. A: vCenter Server down, Site B: vCenter Server of the site down

    I'm not really able to find a clear answer on the web. I hope that replication of vSphere components still work, I don't know if the vCenter really need to work properly after the replication has been implemented.

    vSphere replication is not dependent on vCenter for replication. Is dependent on the vCenter on target for recovery website. So in your examples (assuming that you are replicating b > has):

    1. the replication continues. You can restore a virtual computer needed

    2. the replication continues. You would not be able to recover a virtual machine until vCenter was running.

    If you use SRM, SRM depends on vCenter (on-site running SRM) as well.

    Does make sense?

  • Automate the network port group selection in vsphere replication

    Hi, when you use the vsphere replication tool to recover servers in the data center of DR, the tool does not gives option to select network settings. I have to manually add the port groups and turn on the system remotely vcenter. Is it possible to automate this process, when the replication of a major part of the vms ~ 100-150. I would like to know if there is another way to fix the process and avoid the manual load.

    I use replication of vsphere device version 5.8

    Thank you

    The only way to automate this process is through the Site Recovery Manager.  Automate and orchestrate BC/DR is a big part of the value offered by SRM. The other advantage is the ability to test your recovery plans without disruption of service.

    Does that answer your question?

  • On-site application move to vCloud Air

    Absolutely, the benefits of vCloud Air include compatibility and portability of bidirectional load with vSphere environments.   With our tool, vCloud connector, users can easily migrate VMS and vAPPs to vCloud Air and then back if so chosen.

  • Integration of the workstation with vCloud Air

    Hello vCloud Air guys!

    First of all, I would like to write that I really like the vCloud air service and I test extensively :-)

    I have two very simple questions:

    When there is a successor of a connector vCloud and vCloud Air integration plugin for Web Client (and therefore not in vSphere 6)?

    Great idea is to combine VMware Workstation and vCloud Air OnDemand, but I lack the opportunities to establish VPN tunnels directly from the workstation on board bridge on vCloud Air.

    Are you planning to introduce such a solution?

    Best regards

    Piotr

    It's something we can consider.  We are working on the next characteristic series of this integration to provide more basic functionality that is currently missing (power controls, etc.).

    But I like the idea... will have to depend on the platform updated to our Advanced Networking Services that is the case this year (because ssl - vpn via API will be exposed via NSX - V), but I'm leading the integration of computer work, so I'll take this low = feedback)

  • vSphere Replication options missing in 5.8.0.1 SRM

    In my lab, I have the following Setup and can not get any vSphere replication to be available within the SRM options.  Single table according to replication is an option.  I looked and looked for a solution and we tried everything I could think to get the options will appear and I had no luck so far.

    vcenter1 - 5.5 U2 windows install

    esxi1 - 5.5

    SRM1 - MRS. 5.8.0.1 (install file 5.8.0 - 2336305)

    vR1 - vSphere replication 5.8.0.1

    vcenter2 - 5.5 U2 windows install

    SRM2 - MRS. 5.8.0.1 (install file 5.8.0 - 2336305)

    vR2 - vSphere replication 5.8.0.1

    I started my lab tests by deploying the lefthand VSA with MRS.  Now, I'm moving on using SRM with replication of vSphere.  The steps I've taken since the tests on the left:

    Devices removed from Lefthand VSA

    Uninstalled SRM and chose to clear the contents of the database also

    Confirmed SRM is not displayed in the Web Client more

    VSphere installed a replication on both sites or set to 1 VM - replication is complete

    Installed SRM on the same servers as before and matching installation

    Market thought the SRM configuration theres no reference and no vSphere replication option.  There's also no mention of any SRM integration when in vSphere replication interface.  Now I remember to deploy the same configuration in 5.1 which gave vR deployment options in RS, but that was then.  Now, says the documentation, you're supposed to first deploy vR, which set up and deploy the SRM.  SRM then detects vR installation and I guess that, in theory, these display options. I checked the permissions and everything seems good.  My lab account is the account I use to save and install everything.  Fine RV, by MRS replication pairs, they do not know that they could work together.  I even reinstalled SRM again and confirmed the installation files have been correct on the interoperability matrix and everything seems good.  MRS. acts just like theres nothing, but the options table replication.  I think theres a version special MRS or vSphere replication, which is necessary for the two to work together, but I can't find any documentation on this topic.

    Help, please.  Thank you!

    Joe

    Hello

    Since 5.8 SRM and VR are decoupled. The only way to install vSphere replication is for download and by deploying the vSphere unit of replication.

    Once you do this, you should be able to right click on a virtual machine, and then select Configure replication. When replication is set up for at least a virtual computer, you can include it in a group of Protection of SRM. You can do this by going to SRM UI, select "create Protection Group and selecting"vSphere replication"replication type.»
