• Veeam and Vmware replication

  Hi guys

  We are a data center that provides services with replication of Veeam, now a customer is thinking to reproduce their site but using Vmware replication...

  you see nothing wrong with having two different products, reproducing in our Datacenter or say 1 vCenter?

  Important Veeam replicates a group of virtual machines and Vmware replication will replicate another different group of virtual machines

  Thank you very much

  Hi Escapem2,

  Yes, it should be possible. There is not no problem if you use two sellers for a data center or 1 VC from the point of view of replication. You'll have to make sure all the configuration requirements are met.

  In the replication of VMware, you will need to install the unit of replication vSphre, Sami is managed based on using the web client. On the other hand, Veem replication has their console where you add your ESXi or VC.

  Both these replication technologies are at VM level, there should be no problem until you choose a different set of virtual machines for setting replication job. (There will not be any conflict)

  Prospect management VMware replication helps as it is managed by the same web client that manages the entire VMware infrastructure. But there will be a difference from the point of view feature set.

  I suggest you first zoom before why customer wishes to go for VMware replication and make the right decision. But you can use the two together.

• A virtual machine at the same time...? Which means that for Vmware replication

  Hi guys

  I read the Vmware 5.5 replication, and it says what I do not understand.

  I was reading the recovery process and he said:

  You can recover a virtual machine at the same time on the site replicated on the incoming replication tab

  what it means?

  I restore a VM and I have to wait until he said recovered to start the recovery process or simply means that a single virtual computer at a time and no group of the virtual machine can be recovered I can begin the process of recovery in 3 VMs at the same time, but I have to go one

  Thanks a lot guys

  Hello

  The second. You can begin the process of recovery for each virtual computer and they can go in parallel. However, there is no option to select more than one replication and begin the process of recovery in a single step.

  Kind regards

• Replication VMware 6

  Hello

  When I try to start the VRM services to deploy VMware 6 replication, I get saved successfully to the configuration, cautioned: the bad service status: downtime in the meantime that the server starts.

  I check DNS and FQDN settings network and all look fine?

  Anyone has any ideas as to what could be the cause, thank you

  The strange thing is, when I go to manage the VMware replication tab, I don't see anything in the target site, and the local option vCenter is grayed out? one option is remote site, it is also a brand new installation of VMware Vcenter and replication 6.0

• Maximum extension of the replication servers. How?

  Total Hi,

  I have a question about VMware replication to the experts in this community.

  In our society, we have a vCenter Server, with 60 ESX hosts connected to 12 different locations, all locations are connected via VPN to our headquarters.

  We use replication as follows

  1 vCenter Server (5.5 Build 1378903))

  60 host ESX (5.5 Build 2068190)

  1 unit of replication at Headquarters (5.5.0 Build 1309877)

  10 servers in replication in subsidiaries (5.5.0 Build 1309877)

  Reproduce us in each subsidiary of one ESX to another (LAN) as a concept of the disaster. So, when disaster strikes, we can start the replica of the other server.

  So now, we have 11 subsidiaries and I can only install 10 VMware replication servers.

  VMware KB: limits of operation for MRS 5.1, 5.5 and vSphere replication 5.1 and 5.5 http://www.Google.de/URL?SA=t & rct = j & q = & esrc = s & source = web & cd = 1 & ved = 0CCEQFjAA & url=http%3A%2F%2Fkb.vmware.com%2Fkb%2F2034768 & ei = JtObVfeHOMX9ygOw5LO4Cg & usg = AFQjCNE7ZOTP7TzxH-2fvYc8WY88VMvPXA & cad = AJLN

  When I use the other replication server that this subsidiary, and then all the traffic goes beyond the line of VPN (WAN) and impact on users and the speed of the line.

  There is no option, because the lines are between 0.5 and 20 Mbps. And replication is local, so why copy differentials twice via the VPN!

  We have no RS, only the functionality of replication VMware included.

  How can I get more then 10 replication servers?

  Install the second vCenter and get 10 more?

  Buy the big brother of MRS?

  Best regards

  Andreas

  The limit is 10 VR devices by vCenter (independent of the use of connected mode) so an extra vCenter allow you to deploy a device VR on your 11th site (and 9 more in the future).

• Replication Active Directory Windows or not

  Hi guys

  Any recommendation when replicating Active Directory of Windows?

  Do you recommend using Vmware replication for this?

  or is it better to deploy a second ad in the secondary instead of going through all the work site when you restore a replica a VM AD in this case?

  If the replication is the way to go do you recommend Guest OS standby (VSS)? or normal replication no VSS does support?

  Thank you very much

  someone knows when to use VSS or not in general?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Here is the statement of the document Vmware VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5.1 Documentation Library link

  Protection and recovery of Active Directory domain controllers

  Do not use SRM to protect Active Directory domain controllers. Active Directory provides its own mode of technology and the restoration of the replication. Use the Active Directory replication technology and restore mode technology to manage situations of recovery after a disaster.

• -files ctk.vmdk keep coming back.

  Hey guys,.

  I have problems with the ctk files - keep reappearing.  I am aware that this has to do with the change block Tracking (CBT) but I need it disabled.  With this licence, I am unable to properly use VMWARE JETTÉ TOOL COMMENTS BACK (get them).  I think that it is a tool to backup old Dr. VEEAM that allowed them in the first place, but since we moved to 6.0 VMWARE replication we need more CBT.  Here is what I do to turn it off, but it keeps turned on again.

  I downloaded and used the script from the following link:

  https://www.Veeam.com/kb1113

  Basically, it resets the CBT without having to stop the machine.  Sets the " " ctkEnabled "value to " false.

  After he is executed, the '-ctk.vmdk ' files disappear and I am able to use the tool COMMENTS BACK to the freespace Windows operating system through VMWARE, which in turn transmits the information to my SAN.  Whole slim and trim!

  After about one day, CBT gets reactivated on its own and the '-ctk, vmdk "files reappear.  I don't know if this has something to do with the way I'm disabling online or another software is kind of allow.  If it is because I have to stop the machine so he could stick so I'll do so during our next scheduled maintenance window.

  Any info will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  The script you mentioned is usetr for the RESETTING of the CBT so it essentially disables CBT creates the snapshot and deletions of snapshots and activate CBT return.

• How can synchronize 2 direct vms with different ip address

  Hello

  I have a question I have 2 virtual machines, their data are exactly even now I want to know is there any wany to synchronize their data?

  I don't want to use VR because vr can't the VMS syn 2 which turn on it just can make a sgadow of the one on the host of othe

  now I want to have 2 virtual machines with different ip address, and in time, they can synchronize data

  Best regards

  Babak

  There are no methods that can be used that will do what you are trying the hypervisor layer.  It will be done in the comments.  I would recommend for your machines two windows RoboCopy, and for your two Linux guests recommend Rsync.,.

  There is not much more that we can really say here, that you excluded the VMware replication as your need to have different IP addresses in the two guests.

• Migration of servers to new host and SAN

  Hello

  Current configuration:

  2 x ESXi servers, local storage, share nothing.  License of VMWare Essentials

  New configuration:

  3 x SAN Eqllogic, ESXi servers. Essential Plus VMWare license

  I would like to make the transition to the new configuration with minimal downtime, we have invited a few large (> 1 TB) on one of the servers and I don't want them to be disconnected for more than a few minutes, then a migration cold is out of the question.

  I had a thought that I could put the license key more on the old servers and 1 new servers, set the new SAN on the old servers, use VMWare replication to replicate virtual machines among the old servers to the new server/storage, and then perform a recovery.

  I would then remove this old Vsphere server, add a new server and transfer the license, then perform the same task on the old server to 2nd.

  Once it is finished I remove the old server 2, add the new 3rd server, and move the license.

  Can someone tell me if this is possible, or suggest alternatives?

  Thank you

  Dean.

  Hi Dean,

  Replication (replication vSphere) VMware will be requires downtime when you are recovering from the old host to new host.

  How much time can you afford for downtime?

  The recovery process will turn off the source/protected VM on the current host (VM function how long it would normally take to perform a shutdown comments) and destination/recovery VM will be powered on to a new host (again, depends on VM normally, how long it would take for the operating system and services until then a normal diet on the process).

  vSphere replication requires vSphere Web Client and other requirements, as described here: 5.5 - replication requirements vSphere vSphere Documentation Centre

  You have a vCenter Server?
  What version of ESXi (and vCenter) do you use?

  If you don't have a vCenter Server yet, I suggest you install a vCenter server and add all the current 2 ESXi hosts + 1 new ESXi host.

  From there, you'll have an ESXi 3 host, then you can migrate current ESXi host for new.

  If you are using vSphere 5.1 + you can vMotion, even if the host do not have access to the same storage see this: library of vSphere 5.5 - Migration with vMotion in environments without storage shared

  Its quite simple, if you are using vSphere 5.1 +.

  -Make sure you have vcenter Server 5.1 + with vSphere Web Client

  -Add current hosts + 1 new hosts

  -Make sure the vMotion without requirement for shared storage are filled with VSphere 5.5 Documentation Center - requirements and restrictions for vMotion without Shared Storage

  -Perform vMotion without process Shared Storage of current host to the new host + local storage to SAN EqualLogic - you can start with small VM and VM less critical first if you are not sure.

  -Once all virtual machines have been migrated to the new host + EqualLogic SAN, you can do a maintenance on the current host mode, and then delete the vCenter Server (vSphere licenses will be retrieved)

  -Add the 2 remaining new hosts.

  If you are using vSphere 5.1 prior, you must present the SAN EqualLogic again 1 new host and current 2 hosts.

  Once current hosts can see the EqualLogic SAN, make a Storage vMotion (live migration records) local storage to the EqualLogic.

  For first migration vSphere 5.1, there are 2 ways that I can think of:

  1. with vMotion - without interruption

  There are certain requirements of configuration for vMotion work: Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5 - Migration with vMotion

  Make sure your classes and new hosts are run in the same processor / EVC mode or matrix, you can check it out here: http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=cpu

  If they are on different EVC Mode, you can turn on the CEV on new hosts.

  The steps are:

  S ' ensure that virtual machines are in EqualLogic (you can use Storage vMotion)

  -Perform a vMotion from the current host to new host.

  -Once all virtual machines have been migrated, you can safely do a maintenance on the current host mode and remove the vCenter Server

  -Add the remaining 2 new hosts the vCenter.

  2. without vMotion - requires the interruptions of service commissioning

  It's cold migration but without migration of storage, must be less compared to downtime directly cold immigration to localdisk of shared storage.

  The steps are:

  S ' ensure that virtual machines are in EqualLogic (you can use Storage vMotion)

  -Turn off the virtual machines in the current hosts and migrate (cold) of the host-to-host former New (you can also drag the virtual computer and drop it to the new host).

  -Once all virtual machines have been migrated, you can safely do a maintenance on the current host mode and remove the vCenter Server

  -Add the remaining 2 new hosts the vCenter.

• Replication of VM. Sync (RPO Violation)

  Hello.

  Please help me to solve my problem. I have 2 5.1 esxi hosts different location in France and the Germany, yet I have vcenter and vsphere replication device and installed both on the host No. 1 in Germany. I have configured replication VM of Germany to France for on VM and all went well. But in the morning today, I will alert you to error on my vcenter which tell me about Sync (Violation of RPO). I read this VMware vSphere 5.1 solution but can't find any complete message related to my mistake. Please help solve.

  I have self resolve this issue.  This message "Sync (Violation of RPO)" simply means that you have exceeded the time RPO determined during the Replacation virtual machine configuration, and if you have exceeded this value (replication can't make reason questions within that time limit, for example 15 minutes) then VM cannot start replication, and you get this error. Workaround is defined RPO better then you have time after the last synchronization.

• Synch RPO violation

  Dear guys,

  I am reproducing a VM using vSphere replication and for a while, I get the following error: violation of RPO Synch.
  I put the APR to 3 hours.

  A question: can I start a virtual computer back when I have this error?
  Things is sometimes replica is very well and I have all green and sometimes I have this error message but I need to be able to recover my VM anytime.

  Any suggestion?

  Thanks in advance.

  Daniele

  As you probably know, changes are replicated between source and target based on the provided RPO - 3 hours in your case. This means that if you turn on the virtual machine on the second hour, your changes won't not be replicated from put off voltage machines is not replicated. If manually start you the synchronization, changes made in the first 2 hours will be replicated. This will happen if you start Wizard to recover the first option is with sync that will replicate these changes as well if the source of the VM is off.

• Replication of table of storage as a Solution VMware DR

  Hello

  If I need to do replication of storage table, how VMware sees the virtual machines in their warehouses of replicated data?  Do I need to manually add the VMs newly replicated in the inventory?

  Thank you

  It depends, if you it manually (without a tool like MRS.) vSphere will not see VMs on warehouses of replicated data, and you will need to manually add them to the inventory.

  Here are some details: you need to take a snapshot of the LUN, split the mirror or flip replication reverse to mount storage to hosts on the site of DR. Then, you will need to manually add the virtual machines for inventory, place them into folders, pools of resources, networks, etc. and turn them on as needed. If you use the Site Recovery Manager this process is automated, and you will be able to test your failovers without interruption of service.

  That answer your question?

• VMware vSphere for VC 5.1 replication can be done between two VCs?

  Hello:

  In VC 5.1 version VMware added an option of replication (for SMB, unlicensed SRM), but I still don't understand if replication is possible between two VCs (such as vSphere MIS replication) or it's just the inside / in front of clusters on the same virtual circuit?

  The question is, can I use VMware vSphere replication to replicate (protect VMS) between 2 VCs unlicensed SRM?
