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

esxi2 - 5.5

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!

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.»

See: VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5.8 Documentation Center

Good luck

  • vSphere replication: can it be used with Hyper-V?

    I have a use case where I would like to migrate virtual servers (largely 2008R2) Hyper-V hosts to 5.5 ESXi hosts.  I know I could use vCenter Converter to do this in a procedure in 2 steps, or Zerto in a simpler process, but I was wondering if vSphere replication can be used.  I have not seen anything which seems to indicate that it can be used, but I thought I'd ask anyway.  Thanks for any input.

    Unfortunately, I do not see how it would be possible.

    Zerto / VMware Converter would be your best options

  • 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?

  • with vSphere replication to replicate vCenter Server in a VM

    Hi guys,.

    I am trying to find some info on this. I currently have vCenter 5.5 running on a Windows 2008 R2 VM server. I was wondering can I use replication to replicate it in some shared storage for backup purposes, and if I had to lose it could I recover and this and be good to go? He runs a database integrated. or is it as AD/SQL/Exchange and in general you shouldn't use replication or something of the sort for them.

    Also, if I have reproduced on the recovering site, I could pick it up and re protect him using MRS. and migrate to the main site once I had everything back up and restart? Is there a difference if I ran the vCenter device instead of the version of Windows inside a virtual machine?

    My apologies if this has been answered before that somewhere, it just went through my mind randomly and Googling gives me really a lot of results, so if its been answered somewhere, please point me in that direction.

    Hello

    vSphere replication requires vCenter to function, you cannot use VR to protect it that you wouldn't have a way to recover, unless it has been replicated on a different vCenter (whereby it might be recovered, but only inside the other vCenter) or if it has been managed by a different vCenter.

    If you are in the second option, where you have a vCenter management appliance RV, and you have an another vCenter, so yes, you can use RS in this model to protect and auto restore your internal vCenter.

    No difference in the functionality between vCA and windows version of vCenter.

    As for your statement: "or is it as AD/SQL/Exchange and in general you shouldn't use replication or something of the sort for them."

    -vSphere replication supports VSS suspension

    -I'm Okay I wouldn't recommend AD replication (SQL and Exchange or if you can use the built in replication at the application level)

    -If you can not however, most modern applications work very well in a consistent state of crash (VR normal replication) and the rest works with VSS

    Hope that answers your questions

  • 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.

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

  • Can I use vSphere replication for VMs on a logical unit number that is doing table replication to DR site

    Hi guys, could not find the answer on any Docs/KBs. With the implementation of normal SRM, I know you can use a mixture of the two, while a virtual machine is not protected by the table and vR.

    I need to make a site of NEW Dr. C while maintaining the current Bay of NETAPP on protection SRM of Site B.

    Will this be an approach to support? Step 0 is required?

    0 > get my guys to storage to stop replication on LUN - XYZ table (IF ANY) on

    1 > delete virtual machines on LUN XYZ of SRM existing Protection groups.

    2 > use vSphere replication to replicate the VMs who live on the LUN - XYZ

    3 > repeat the process until all LUNS have been treated like that.

    It should work without problem. I would recommend just a change in order to:

    1 (also remove the logic of the PG unit number), 0, 2, 3

    If you want to leave the computer on the same LUN virtual then step 0 is not necessary, but recommended (see below). If want to let the replication logic unit number and can just svmotion the VM, which would work as well.

    From a data protection perspective, as long as you understand the potential complications, I recommend you actually starting with step 2. Technically, you don't want to not have the same virtual machine reproduced several times, in this case since you are in transition, and if you understand that retrieve the VM using a method will break the other, and you can not the virtual machine protection with the two (VR & ABR) in SRM, you should be ok.

    Hope it makes sense. If this is not the case, let me know.

  • 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).
