We Make Technology Accessible
introduction
we have mentioned in previous article that testing recovery plan making some changes to DR site Like create new vswitch called srmxxxx create new port group for isolated tested network called srmxxxx create new instance to tested VM power on VM these changes should rolled back ,so DR site is NOT effected by testing recovery plan
clean up testingRead More…
introduction
after we successfully configure SRM environment and make VM replication for VM that we believe it’s added value to our business now we can optionally test SRM
Testing SRM replication
Test recovery is NO more than a testing a recovery plan exercises with every aspect of recovery plan. Site recovery manager ensures that test recovery will avoid disruptioRead More…
Introduction
NOW everything is prepared install ESXI on Production and DR site install vcenter on Production and DR site install SRM on Production and DR site install VRA [vSphere Replication ] on Production and DR site create inventory mapping with 5 aspects [network , resources , folder , placeholder , and storage policy ] Read More…
introdction
now after we completed all 5 aspects of inventory mapping , we will discuss the second part of configuring SRM : create recovery plan create protection group protect VM Running SRM Test Recovery Cleaning up Test Recovery what is recovery plan
vCenter Site recovery manager recovery plan is a automated plan for recovering protected VM s to the recovery siteRead More…
introduction
now after we completed all 5 aspects of inventory mapping : its; time to talk about protection group
what is Protection group
Site Recovery Manager Protection group can be created to group virtual machines for protection. As you know replication could be done either : SRA [storage replication adapter ] or VR [vSphere replication ] SRM protection Read More…
introduction
in previous 4 articles we have discuss mapping aspects like [network , folder, recourse , and place holder ] this article : we will discuss the last aspect of mapping : Storage Policy Mapping
Storage Policy introduction
Storage Policy-Based Management (SPBM) is a feature of VMware vSphere that allows administrators to create storage profileRead More…
introduction
in previous three articles we have discussed network mapping and resource mapping as well as folder mapping in this article we will continue to discuss place holder datastore mapping
placeholder VM
What is A placeholder A placeholder VM is subset of VM files that is created , when a VM is added to a recovery plan. It cannot be poweredRead More…
introduction
In the previous two articles , we have discussed Configuring SRM folder mapping as well as resource mapping . In this article , we will discuss SRM network mapping. One of the important step in SRM inventory mappings. Network mapping needs to configured properly. If you don’t get this configured correctly, the VMs that are powered on at the RecRead More…
introduction
In this article we are going to discuss about SRM Folder mapping. In most vSphere environments:> Virtual machines and data centers organized into folders in vCenter server. In real production environment, There are thousands of virtual machines running in your production vCenter server. Without SRM folder mapping, all your virtual machines wilRead More…
introduction
In these articles, we are going to discuss about Site Recovery Manager inventory mappings. Basically inventory mappings involves in mapping the resources (clusters and resource pools), folders, and networks of the Protected Site to the Recovery Site. Why we need resources mapping
Resource mapping is required because we have 2 different vCenter servers installRead More…
introduction For Better View > Open Image in different TAB
as you seen in network diagram we have installed SRM and VRA on both production and DR sites it’s time now to make pairing between two site with SRM and VRA
pairing sites
open vcenter VCSA in production site VCSA-Prod-155 https://vcsa-prod-155.pioneers.lab/ home > site recovery&nRead More…
introduction
we have install SRM on both production and DR site and paired to each other and also vsphere replication has been installed on production site this articles we will install vsphere replication on DR site > so both VRA connect to each other to synchronize VMs
VRA network Diagram For Better View > Open Image in different TAB
vsphere replication will be instaRead More…
introduction
we have seen previously how to install SRM in Production site and DR site , and how to make pairing between both : [actually this is primary pairing and will NOT completed until to install VRA and make Site pairing with SRM and VRA ] as we said before : SRM is NOT replication software : SRM utilize another software to make replication between two sites which could be onRead More…
introduction in previous articles we have installed SRM on Production Site and verify installation in this article we will see how to install SRM on DR site and how to make pairing between two sites network Diagram For Better View > Open Image in different TAB as you see in network diagram above : SRM will be installeRead More…
introduction
In the previous two articles [SRM intro and SRM components ] : We have discussed in detail about architecture of VMware Site Recovery Manager and its various components. In this article : we are going to discuss in detail about procedure for VMware SRM 8.2 installation Prerequisites to install SRM 8.2 Install the same version of Platform Services ConRead More…
introduction in previous article SRM part I : we have got an overview of SRM as concept and it’s feature as well as benefits also we have differentiate between [vSphere Replication ] and [ Storage Replication Adapter ] in this article : we continue to understand network diagram of SRM components with some considerations points SRM Logical Design Read More…
