• How to use the VMKernel vSphere replication traffic

  I'm trying to set up my host with my camera of replication with a stand-alone VMKernal with activated on its own virtual replication traffic vSphere VLAN.

  After that I have it set to 2 guests (each with local data warehouses) and tried to replicate a virtual machine from one host to the host with the VR device, traffic goes out on the management vlan / network card on the host of the virtual machine is received on the host with the device (where I'm storing data) on the VM nic inbound / vlan.

  I want 100% of my replication traffic off the coast of the management and the network of the VM, just as I did with vmotion.

  Hello

  On the establishment of the vmkernel to tag in ESXi 5.0.x and 5.1.x replication traffic is an experimental feature and still not officially supported.

  You have to somehow router ports of replication traffic. Some people use solutions WAN optimizer (Riverbed or similar).

  The VR device must be have access to vCenter Server and the hosts that can be used to write to data warehouses target. Link to article with the correct port numbers should be present in the Administrator's guide.

• vSphere replication bandwidth control.

  Nice day!

  One of my Cx attempts to set a limit to vSphere replication traffic by using 6.0 the script below

  Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

  Connect-VIServer [email protected] username-password soumahoro

  < #.

  vSphere limits replication

  Average scriptable to toggle your limit of bandwidth VR for day, night, weekend or what

  Use of args = "vcsahq1.kembacu.org" "Name of VDS to configure" PSfile "10".

  # >

  # Variables

  $vcenter = $args [0]

  $dvsName = $args [1]

  $rpName = "vSphere replication."

  # The value - 1 to return to unlimited

  $newLimit = $args [2]

  # Connect to vCenter

  If (-not $global: DefaultVIServer) {Connect-VIServer-Server $vcenter}

  # Check args

  If (-not $args [2])

  {

  throw "wrong format. "" Provide the name of vCenter, VDS and limit in Mbps. example: ' "script '" vCenterFQDN' "'"VDS1"" 500 "" would fix VR on VDS1 bandwidth to 500 Mbit/s""

  output

  }

  # Details of VDS

  $dvs = get-VDSwitch-name $dvsName

  # A pool of network VR the value supplied in args

  # The article below was written by Luke rooms (@LucD22), all credit to him

  $rp = $dvs.ExtensionData.NetworkResourcePool | Where {$_.} {Name: match $rpName}

  # Check

  $rp = $dvs.ExtensionData.NetworkResourcePool | Where {$_.} {Name: match $rpName}

  Limit Write-Host 'A' $rp. AllocationInfo.Limit ' Mbit/s has been set to $dvs.

  The script runs without error. However, when I login to the web client. Networks > DVS > manage > resources > traffic system > the limit value for vSphere Rep VR Traffic is not updated.

  Little debug shows that rpname does not match $rp causing the script jump if condition. But that's all I know about writing scripts.

  Please take a look and let me know if any necessary changes.

  PS: I'm not familiar with the scripts, a newbie I should say, please bear if my questions seem bizarre.

  
  

  
  
  Thank you.

  How to change the limit has indeed rather fundamentally changed.

  This script should work for 5.5 and 6.0.

  $vdsName = "dvSwTest".

  $limitMbps = 10

  $rpName = "vSphere replication traffic (VR).

  $rpKey = "hbr.

  $vds = get-VDSwitch-name $vdsName

  If {($global:DefaultVIServer.Version-eq "6.0")}

  $rp = $vds. ExtensionData.Config.InfrastructureTrafficResourceConfig | where {$_.} Key - eq $rpKey}

  $spec = new-Object - TypeName VMware.Vim.DvsConfigSpec

  $spec.configVersion = $vds. ExtensionData.Config.ConfigVersion

  $rp. AllocationInfo.Limit = [long] $limitMbps

  $spec. InfrastructureTrafficResourceConfig += $rp

  $vds. ExtensionData.ReconfigureDvs ($spec)

  }

  else {}

  $rp = $vds.ExtensionData.NetworkResourcePool | where {$_.} Name - eq $rpName}

  $spec = new-Object - TypeName VMware.Vim.DVSNetworkResourcePoolConfigSpec

  $spec. Name = the $rp. Name

  $spec. ConfigVersion = the $rp. ConfigVersion

  $spec. Description = the $rp. Description

  $alloc = new-Object VMware.Vim.DVSNetworkResourcePoolAllocationInfo

  $alloc. Limit = $limitMbps

  $alloc. Actions is the $rp. AllocationInfo.Shares

  $alloc. PriorityTag = the $rp. PriorityTag

  $spec. AllocationInfo = $alloc

• Simple question vSphere replication NAS/SAN

  We have two remote sites running vSphere and our main office, also running vSphere.  We think of you use vSphere replication to provide a DR solution for two of our critical applications in these remote sites.  One of these applications is running on a virtual machine on the remote site and is connected to a NetApp NAS.  The second application is using EMC SAN to the other remote site.  Our main office using EMC SAN for our vSphere.

  I have a few questions about it.

  1 can use replication of vSphere on the site that uses the NetApp storage?  Will be replicated on our main site, EMC SAN disk data on NetApp storage?

  2. don't only need 1 unit of replication vSphere on the site of the main office?  And then another at each remote site?  Or do we need a separate vSphere replication device at Headquarters for each remote site?

  Thank you.  Sorry for the newb questions.

  Hello

  1 vSphere replication is independent of the peripheral type storage. The changes are to the hard level. You can use different bays of storage on different sites.

  2. If the remote sites have their own server vCenter Server, then you need a VR device at a remote site. If all sites are under same vCenter Server, then you need a device of VR. VRMS (server administration VR) is extension of vCenter Server and there's only a VRMS will be deployed by vCenter Server. The combined unit of VR contains VRMS + embedded DB for server VRMS + VR. There are also some additional device VR-server only, in case you have some hosts within the same server vCenter Server, but on a larger distance and replication traffic can benefit if she moves directly to the VR server closed to the target data store.

  Kind regards

• vSphere replication 5.1 - no Active

  When I set up replication vSphare, it says "Non-Active". I tried with no luck

  
  Rebooted device of VR on the two sites (NY & Dallas)

  Restarted vCenter Server on both sites (NY & Dallas)

  Appliane VR upgraded with the latest update available in both sites (NY & Dallas)

  Reset the database onboard on RV sites (NY & Dallas)

  
  No change in the environment. The replication worked very well in the past

  The problem has been resolved by activating vSphere replication on the properties of the port traffic.

• vSphere replication ports

  Hi guys

  We will be deploying vsphere replication between 2 sites that are geographically far apart.

  My question is to confirm if only this 2 ports must be open for replicatio to work?

  Port of 44046 31031

  any other port?

  I found this for Site Recovery manager

  http://pubs.VMware.com/SRM-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.VMware.SRM.install_config.doc%2FGUID-019985CE-1024-47B0-80AF-B96D1837916A.html

  

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  This is the same topic as part of vSphere documentation Replication - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.replication_admin.doc/GUID-88B96DAB-8389-40A5-849B-D94ED5A3C4AD.html - in case you are using vSphere replication without SRM.

  The ports listed by you are for replication traffic and the source host must have access to these ports on the secondary site server VR devices to send deltas of the replica.

  VRMS uses the reverse proxy Server vCenter and management traffic to the other VRM through port 80 between the tunnels sites.

  In order to have 31031, 44046 ports and port 80 should be sufficient.

  I have not checked the c# Client UI SRM - I see that direct access to the port remote VRM 8043 was explicitly mentioned. It might be useful to check if it is really necessary in 5.1.

  The plugin of vSphere in vSphere client Web replication does not need to directly access the 8043 remote site port, it uses the vCenter Server proxy port 80.

  Kind regards

• Throttling in vSphere replication

  I was not able to discover a way to set the limitation in vSPhere replication to SRM 5.0 of bandwidth. Is there a way it can be done, and if not, are there upgrades of all plans to introduce it in the future?

  If you have Enterprise Plus, you can use the NIOC for gas SRM traffic.

  Kind regards

• 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:

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

  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: 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

• 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).

• 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?

• Limitation of simultaneous jobs for vSphere replication

  Is there a way to limit the simultaneous use configured in vSphere replication?  It seems that we can only configure Apr but not simultaneous/concurrent jobs ran.  We have problems of saturation of bandwidth and therefore would like to prioritize virtual machines get replicated on before others.

  
  Thank you.

  It is not a way to directly prioritize VMs with vSphere replication. VR plans dynamically replications to try to meet RPO for all VMs replicated so if you have a few virtual machines that are not met the RPO I would reduce your RPO settings. You might also take a look at the VR bandwidth calculator: http://www.vmware.com/vrcalculator and determine what your pipe can support parameters.

• 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?

• vSphere replication seeding

  Hi guys,.

  Basically the standard way to do a seed must turn off the virtual machine on the source site, make a copy of it and then she picks up on the site of DR to put it on a data store and the replication source site VM instance point to posterity.

  My question is rather than this cant you just use a POS/Veeam backup restore on the target site, itll be a bit outdated and replication of vSphere point to that?

  I take its probably not possible, I'm sure he would have been on the internet somewhere, if not I'm curious as to why not?

  See you soon,.

  Bilal

  vSphere replication requires that source and target UUID drives match. When restoring machines virtual/VMDK POS, Veeam, etc., restored disks get new UUID. You can manually change the UUID of each restored disc, but it's a little heavy.
