• Run Recovery Plan - turn off virtual machines to the protected Site?

  Hello

  Pretty silly question here...  I read that when you run the Recovery Plan SRM will equip all virtual machines protected on the protected site.  Is this the case?

  Thank you

  Dave

  Exactly.  In this case, workloads on the recovering site absolutely remains lit throughout the entire test or recovery.

• Can be completely protected from infecting your host PC if you are running in a virtual machine?

  I would like to know if you can run a virtual machine and keep the invincible host against malware. What are the best practices to configure such an environment? How to share data between the host and the virtual machines and still stay safe?

  Nope, it will be some protection for your host PC, but not a complete protection.  Many viruses can travel on a local network and infect "nearby" machines and your host would be a.  You must use the same computer security practices in a virtual machine as you would in a real machine.

• This virtual machine to become protected vsphere HA and HA can not try to restart after a power failure

  I got a 5.1 cluster with some problems HA.

  a few virtual machines are showing this

  This virtual machine to become protected vsphere HA and HA can not try to restart after a power failure.

  When I try to reconfigure HA on the host. It times out and fails.

  any idea?

  Instead of reconfiguring HA on the concerned host, have you tried to disable HA on the cluster and enable again? See: VMware KB: State of the virtual machine changes from protected to Unprotected

• Manual removal placeholder VMs when the protected virtual machine is removed

  We run SRM 5.5. We had some VMs protected, we need more, so they have been removed from the drive (I can't). When I found out about it, I went in SRM and removed the protection for these deleted virtual machines. Most of the VMS placeholder have been correctly removed by this procedure, however, I see still 2 VMs of space reserved for virtual computers that no longer exist. No idea why only these 2 (about 6) were not cleaned.

  My question: can I remove manually just these VMs placeholder? They are not in any group of protection, or the stimulus plan. And the protected virtual machines which correspond to these placeholders no longer exist. It's as if they are zombie placeholders. :-)

  There is no problem with me removing the VMs placeholder manually, y at - it?

  Hello

  Yes, its safe to delete the place holder vm.  Make sure the source VM is not protected and no replication is configured. Restart the SRM service.

  Thank you

• Protect both virtual machines with features of ESXI fault tolerant clustered disk

  Hello world

  I read the following:

  VMware vSphere with operations management: fault tolerance | United States

  The line that interests me is:

  "VMware vSphere® fault tolerance (FT) ensures the continued availability of the applications in the event of server failure by creating an instance of live snapshots of a virtual machine that is always up to date with the first virtual machine. In the event of hardware failure, vSphere FT triggers automatically failover - ensure no interruption of service and prevent data loss. »

  Question:

  FT can protect both virtual machines that share disks in a cluster configuration? (A cluster SQL instance for example)

  FT can protect both virtual machines that share disks in a cluster configuration? (A cluster SQL instance for example)

  No, you can't, because there is an incompatibility with FT.

  Refer to the documentation for all requirements and interoperability: interoperability of fault tolerance

• Protection of unique virtual machine with SRM

  Hello

  I am new to SRM so please guide me, I Site A and Site B, the two sites has 4 to LUN with SAN EMS replication, this LUN has 4 virtual machines, (A, B, C, D), as does the replication SAN and that LUN is protected, Protection Group covers all 4 VM, if one of my VM falls down on the main site I can only start that failure on site rather count all 4 virtual machines of the failover.

• Protection group virtual machines do not have consistent snapshop point in time using vSphere replication

  As the title, we feel when capturing instant timestamp for virtual machines in a protection group.

  Which means a group of database servers, applications, and others, when drill us test to start the virtual machines in the recovering site files timestamp in the virtual machines are varied.

  Snapshot work is executed simultaneously for all virtual machines in the group when planning replication hit? Or is it because certain virtual machines (like DB) speak more time to complete the snapshot so than others like apps VM completed early?

  Anyone hit this problem? We use vSphere replication instead of array based replication.

  Thanks /.

  Hello

  It is a behavior expected with current versions of vSphere replication - replication source host Scheduler is not aware of any grouping of virtual machines and starts the replica instance to meet the RPO requirements. The decision when to start a new instance is based on the time of loading and transfer to some of the previous instances.

  Multi-vm coherence is on the roadmap for a future release and will describe what exactly you address issues.

  If you use VR 5.5, you may use multiple points depending on the time (JEREMIAH) and after switching some of the old machines instances (represented by VM snapshots) to match the State of the other machines.

  Kind regards

• can I add additional VMDK virtual machine that is already protected with vSphere 5.1 replication?

  Hello

  We're uaing SRM 5.1 to protect a virtual computer by using the replication of vSphere. now, we want to increase the size of one of the vmdk dirve. can we increase the size of the disk? and if we don't, then, can we add an another VMDK to this virtual machine?

  What is the procedure to protect that additional newly added VMDK?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Please see the following topics in vSphere replication 5.1 documentation (replication reconfiguration).

  Yes, you can add an another VMDK to a replicated VM. Replication goes into an error state, and you must reconfigure replication and include the newly added to replicate disk.

• virus and malware protection of VMWare virtual machines at the hypervisor level

  Hello

  are there other than Trend Micro deep Security products that can protect virtual machines from the host at the hypervisor level?

  Any experience with deep security?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  McAfee has their product 'MOVE' for hypervisors, which we have had success with.

  There is also a Kaspersky solution, although I can't see offhand what it's called.

• 2 VDR "impossible to create the snapshot for < system >, error-3960 (cannot suspend virtual machine).

  We test VDR on our ESXi 4.1.0 cluster 381591 and we have a few backups to a test Windows 2003 server and a Linux server and they backed up fine. We have a backup of a Windows 7 computer virtual test and we had a bunch of these errors...

  Failed to create the snapshot for systemname, error-3960 (can not suspend virtual machine)

  Which is strange because I can go in vSphere client and manually create a snapshot and remove without problem. Any ideas on why this is happening?

  Thank you

  You can try to set the 'disk. EnableUUID' to 'false '.

• With the help of two different devices for VDR to save the same virtual machines

  Hello

  I have VDR backup right now most of my virtual machines. I'm experimenting with some recovery scenarios disaster using VDR. I want to set up a new device, backup virtual machines themselves, but with a destination off. My question is, it would cause problems to have two different devices, backup the same virtual machines?

  I'm asking this is because I was looking at the notes of recent VMworld session on VDR and he says, regarding a troubleshooting scenario in which you must create a new device in addition to your current device, both devices back up the same virtual machines do not.

  If it is dangerous to do so because of the likelihood that two devices can save the same virtual machines at the same time, I could schedule the backup windows at different times to avoid this problem.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  I create a second local camera vDR and vDR distance and test it against a test VM. The vDR devices will have their own CBT files for each virtual computer, so they should be able to work together, but I would like to go through tests to see how they work well on the WAN. Make sure that you can transfer enough data to host daily data change.

• Will the virtual machines in the space are automatically deleted when the protected group are removed

  Hi friends,

  Will the virtual machines in the space are automatically deleted when the protected group are removed?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  When you choose to delete the Protection Group, first virtual machines are unprotected and placeholders are deleted.

• 'Operation timed out', while protecting a virtual machine

  When you try to configure protection on a virtual machine in 4.1 SRM and every time I do it fails with the error 'Operation timed out' and I see the following error message in the log of Site Recovery Manager:

  I saw this problem after repairing the installation of SRM. Restart both servers SRM has solved the problem.

  In your case, this is the new installation or did you 'fix' recently?

• VShield Configuration Manager 4.1 (and how to protect a virtual machine?)

  I have 2 ESXi hosts currently configured in vCenter 4.1.  Before vShield installation Manager, he had 3 vSwitches present on each server; a regular and two distributed.

  • vSwitch0 - connected to vmnic0 - has management and production of network 1 10.168.90.x

  • VLAN 10.1 - VMFN connected to vmnic1 on each host - connects to the private physical network 10.1.x.x

  • VLAN 10.2 - VMFN connected to vmnic2 on each host - connects to the private physical network 10.2.x.x

  After you install vShield Manager in a new virtual machine and then to deploy vShield Zones to each ESXi host, develops a new vSwitch

  vmservice-vswitch - again group of ports in Virtual Machine vmservice-vshield-pg - not connected to any physical cards

  VMS individual vShield-FW created for each host have connected network cards as below

  • Production network normal 1 - VM Network adapter (attached to vSwitch 0).

  • Production network normal 2 - VM Network adapter (attached to vSwitch 0).

  • Adapter 3 - vmservice-vshield-pg network

  I tried to connect my VMs to the network vmservice-vshield-pg in order

  to protect them and place them behiind the firewall.  However, who has

  seem to work, and my VM has lost network connectivity.

  How to protect a virtual machine that needs to connect to the normal production

  Network (on vSwitch0)?  Is there any configuration steps I'm missing?

  What happens if I want to connect a virtual machine or one of its network cards to one of the 10.1.xx

  or 10.2.x.x networks rather than the normal 10.168.90.x network?  What

  additional steps should I make?  The new 4.1 documentation is not

  helped at all, and it seems that the old vShield Zones 1.0 docs are not

  applies to all.

  There is no need to change the virtual computer is connected to the network.

  Just activate/install vShield zones on your hosts and add rules to the vSwitch or data center.

  The virtual machine will be becomes protected if no error is displayed.
