VMware SRM case studies and see?

Anyone know where to read stories of success for SRM implementations and see?  If this isn't the case, you have a success stories for one of the solutions of production? Please specify your environment below.

1 SRM or the view implementation?

2. number of hosts?

3. storage of the seller/types?

4 replication DR solution?

5. What are the best practices you used successfully implemented your solution?

6. What are your problems that you have encountered and want to share so anyone can avoid for future deployment?

7. What do you use for networking for DR site (VLAN stretched or Re - IP)

8. What are your recommendations for someone looking to implement the same solutions?

Please share your solutions so that someone can determine the success rate analysis.  Thank you to enjoy holiday everyone.

Each of my clients have a different and the best storage solutions I've worked with uses the features of VMware View composer/Linked Clone 3.0.1 and to use solutions NetApp NFS with instant volume characteristic, rapid Clone Utility 2.0 and IVMS to clone quickly and provided images of massive office so well.  But if you want to know the real world solutions, see vmware and Netapp Web sites there are a few good case studies to read.  Otherwise, someone will fill in their environment and the solutions accordingly.

If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

  • VMware SRM 5.8 and EMC RP

    Hi people,

    We have implemented 5.8 SRM with EMC RP 4.1 (array-based replication). Even if we validate us migration we encounter several issues as shown below.

But the same have resolved after you have enabled the "https" to two Can MRS. Mrs. somebody please help understand the question? I tried re-record ESXi nodes to vCenter inventory, restart ESXi and other infra servers, etc. But no luck.

    Thank you!

    Guests of protected sites are restored from sleep mode (DPM is disabled) so that storage can be removed on their part and set to read only.

    I agree with what said GSS, the problem with the LUN downgrade error is very likely with the SRA and that is why EMC. I think as the hosts of the protected site of sleep problem can be linked to that as well (not able to remove LUN?)

    About your VM stopping, you say that the virtual machine stops successfully? The default value is for MRS wait 5 minutes (300 seconds) for closure, if the virtual machine takes more time that you do not want to change the timeout value in the advanced settings. See here for more details: Site Recovery Manager 6.0 Documentation Center

  • SRM protected LUN and RecoverPoint replicated Lun

    We run VMware SRM 5.0 and RecoverPoint 3.4 SP2.  Running 5.0 ESXi and vCenter 5.0. The problem that we get and the VMware SRM and EMC RP support response are conflicting with each other.  Our SRM failover process failed because the DR replicated LUNs was not detected during the scan HBA.  VMware support said that the replicated LUN doesn't have to be added to the storage of VMware on our VNX5300 (DR) group.  Logic unit number is added to the storage PR group.  SRM/RP will present the LUN in VMware as part of the SRM failover process.  EMC, tells us that the replica LUN must be present in VMware and storage of RP group.

    The failover process does not end until we added the LUNs replicated in the VMware storage group.  However, we have tested previously other SRM protected LUNS and this has never been necessary.  Can anyone provide specific details on RecoverPoint requirement to add the LUNS replicated in the VMware storage group?

    Thank you

    EMC is correct!  The target of replication LUNS must be in a group of storage with your hosts ESXi on the VNX for a test to run successfully.  I'll usually create a storage for a VMware cluster group, add LUN replication target and leave them there.  Of course, the Group of storage for all data, journal and repository LUN RecoverPoint must also exist with all the Rwandan Patriotic Army.

  • "The remote server returned an error: (502) Bad Gateway" while matching Protected Site VC and recovery Site VC in VMware SRM

    Hi all

    I am trying to Setup VMware SRM 4.1 groups. I had configured hitachi usp vm storage based array replication in both sites.

    Now when I try to pair the two sites vCenter, I get an error at the end of the phase of matching as message "the remote server returned an error: (502) Bad Gateway ' on the protected site. But surprisingly, I am able to match both the vCenters on the recovering site.

    Please help me to get the problem.

  • VMware SRM Reprotect fails with Peer table ID provided in the SRM of entry is incorrect

    I have the following Setup

    Site-a.

    VMware vCenter 5.1 U1

    VMware SRM 5.1.1

    NetApp SRA 2.0.1P2

    FAS3140C - Data ONTAP 8.1.2P4

    Site-B

    VMware vCenter 5.1 U1

    VMware SRM 5.1.1

    NetApp SRA 2.0.1P2

    FAS3140C - Data ONTAP 8.1.2P4

    I created a Protection Group based at the A Site containing a single VM with a single vmdk disk on an NFS volume.

    The NFS volume is synchronous to the Site-B

    I can perform a migration scheduled to Site B, and then reprotect an another planned migration back to Site A, but then when I try to restore the reprotect again so that I am ready for an another Site-B recovery fails in the first step, configure storage for reverse Direction with " " - Failed to reverse the replication for impossible on the devices. SRA command 'prepareReverseReplication' failed. Peer table provided in the entry MRS. ID is incorrect check the newspapers RS to verify the correct peer array ID. "

    I see nothing on the files or the newspaper of SRM server logs to indicate that it is.

    This occurs for each Protection Group, I create this is not isolated to just this one volume.  I also tried with VMFS iSCSI volumes and get exactly the same results.

    If I create a Protection on the Site-B group I can get back to the Site-A and will not restore to fail to Site-B.

    Initially, I look that the issue I saw is that I could do a backspace, but could not perform a second reprotect because the SnapMirrors were left in the State of evil, but now I see that the problem is that I can't make a reprotect from Site A to Site B.

    I completely uninstalled SRM in both places, removed from the SRM database on both sites and started again but always get the same question.

    I actually IBM N series-N6040 controllers and uses IBM Data ONTAP and SRA. brand got a call open with VMware and IBM but not very far.

    Has anyone seen this problem before and got a solution?

    Now, I've identified what causes this problem and can work around it until there is a fix of NetApp.

    The issue was the name of the file on the recovering Site Server had the same name as the file server on the Site protected with a prefix to the subject, which in my case the recovering Site go was named NSERIES01 and the protection of the Site was DRNSERIES01.  Don't forget that I had already performed a failover and restoration for the protection of the Site was my original recovery Site, so yes give it the site protected for this Protection Group is DRNSERIES01 and the recovering Site has NSERIES01 on this.

    Using the task Reprotect is the first step is to call the SRA with the command prepareReverseReplication, which calls reverseReplication.pl, which is trying to verify the SnapMirror is broken.  It gets the status of all the SnapMirrors run on the recovering Site, which in this case NSERIES01.  It then goes through each of them looking for a match of the local-spin-name section: volume-name of the source of the snapmirror, for example for my test group was trying to match NSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test, at this stage of the source of the SnapMirror is DRNSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test which is correct, but because the script uses a pattern matching test it corresponds to NSERIES01 : NFS_VMware_Test to DRNSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test as NSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test is contained in DRNSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test. It then checks if the destination of the snapmirror corresponds to the peerArrayID (that is, in this case DRNSERIES01) he does not like the destination, properly, is NSERIES01, and then reports that the peerArrayID is incorrect. If there is no match on the local-spin-name: volume-name of the source of the snapmirror, then he continues to check the destination of the snapmirror, and when it finds a match, it checks if the peerArrayID is the source of the SnapMirror, and if it checks the State of the SnapMirror is broken off.

    I've never touched the issue with the first reprotect because DRNSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test is not contained in the source of the SnapMirror (NSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test) and so it will be the next test of verification of the DRNSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test in the destination of the SnapMirror, that he finds and then checks the DRNSERIES01 against the destination which is also to and finally confirms that the relationship of SnapMirror is broken-off.

    I had changed the volume on DRNSERIES01 a while ago because I thought that the question could have because of the volume being names the same, but I had changed with a suffix of _Repl on the end and so the script was always corresponding to NSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test to _ReplNSERIES01:NFS_VMware_TestDR.

    I have now set my group of test as follows:

    Protected site

    Name of the file server = NSERIES01

    Volume name = NFS_VMware_Test_HMR

    Recovery site

    File name = DRNSERIES01

    Volume name = NFS_VMware_Test_EWC

    I can now get on the Site recovery, Reprotect, restoration, Reprotect and Fail-over again and continue achieving recoveries and reprotect again and again as often as you can re - save on VHS of Scotch tape!

    If the file on the Site B server had a suffix on its name instead of a prefix, for example, it was named NSERIES01DR, or had a name completely different then I would never hit this bug in the SRA.  I'll wait for NetApp fix SRA.  In the meantime I will be renaming all my volumes on the site of recovery as well as to avoid this problem.

  • SAN replication vs VMware SRM on?

    Hello

    I wonder when should we choose as VMware SRM on the owner SAN replication method?

    for the moment, I see a plan of the DR site that would be well if my production environment data can be reproduced by the SAN in the DR site.

    Thank you

    SRM is nice, because it gives you a a (wonderful) DR failover button

    Of course, the disadvantage is the cost and the fact that once you have switched, you will need to reconfigure to backspace.

    SAN is generally cheaper (because the assumption is that you should replication stoarge for SRM anyway), but requires scripts on measurement or manually export and import of virtual machines to operate. It's also a bit harder to work around the question if your VLAN don't is not strained between sites and if the INVESTIGATION period.

    If you're used to the script thouhg, it shouldn't be a problem, so your decision simply come sdown to ease of use, cost and skills,

    Personally, I scripted before and would take the same approach again (even if the SRM is a very good tool) - but I think it is different for a lot (more) like not everyone a) the script, b) trusts their scripts.

    Finally, if you pay someone to adapt, it will be easier to understand what is happening with MRS with a bunch of custom scripts and SRM allows 'dummy runs', which scripts cannot do.

    Good luck and post with your final word please.

  • When you've been a long game my system hang and see a blue screen?

    When you've been a long game my system hang and see a blue screen?

    You gave us a general indication of the nature of the problem but the specific error reports are a much easier solution.

    When a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) the system failure occurs, for most users, there not enough time to fully record what he says. the exact text is important for anyone trying to diagnose what is wrong. You can save time when the error occurs then by following the procedure described below.

    If you already did it disable the auto reboot system error. This should help by allowing the time to write the code to Stop error and related information correctly. Do right click on the icon my computer on the desktop and select Properties, advanced, startup and recovery, system failure and uncheck the box before automatically restarting. Re-do not enable automatic restart in the event of system failure after obtaining this information, this setting is the best left to not allow an automatic restart.

    If the failure occurs during the initialization of the computer, you need to try a different approach. You can access the Advanced Options Menu of Windows on multiple computers by constantly pressing the F8 (key) key when starting and selecting the option - disable automatic restart in case of system error. This method is not always easy to use because it may be difficult to press the F8 key at the right time. Try again if it doesn't work the first time. On some computers, a different key must be used.

    Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

  • VMware SRM issues

    Hey guys,.

    After the meeting @ protector and to hear about Brian SRM, it made me think to our plan of DR and what is missing.

    The idea of having to change IP s/DNS/etc with MRS is not so attractive, but I remember several people in the class, mentioning that they were extending over VIRTUAL networks over the Wan to avoid changing the IP and DNS addresses.

    I'd be happy to discuss how someone has put in place/seen SRM being implemented on the Wan via covering of VLANS and how it works.

    I can't wrap my mind on how you would do routing towards building this (BGP routing, local LAN routing, etc.)

    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions or someone I can talk to, I'd be bucket.

    Thanks for the good meeting!

    Josh

    It is certainly possible based on my conversation with my friend network. I'll send the question to Brian and see what he thinks.

    From what I have found in some brief research is an article here, where they had a back and forth conversation. Start reading about someone who really knows something about how to do towards the end, but it seems that it is quite complicated if you do not know the network at a good level.
