Overview of this book

VMware vCenter Site Recovery manage is an orchestration tool used to automate disaster recovery in a manner that no other solution does. It is programmed to leverage array-based replication and VMware's proprietary vSphere Replication engine. The book begins by talking about the architecture of SRM and guides you through the procedures involved in installing and configuring SRM to leverage array-based replication. You will then learn how to protect your virtual machines by creating Protection Groups and validate their recoverability by testing recovery plans and even performing failover and failback. Moving on, you will learn how to install and configure vSphere Replication as a standalone disaster recovery solution. It also guides you through the procedures involved in configuring SRM to leverage vSphere replication. Finally, you will learn how to deploy and configure vRealize Orchestrator and its plugin for SRM and vSphere Replication.

Moving replication to another VR Server


You can choose to move an active replication to another VR server if need be. This is generally done when you have multiple VR servers at the recovery site and you intend to distribute the replication load to those servers. Moving a replication to another VR Server requires a reconfiguring of the replication on the VM.

The following procedure will guide you through the steps required in moving the replication to another VR Server:

  1. Connect to the vCenter Server and navigate to the inventory home.

  2. Click on vSphere Replication to bring up the vSphere Replication home.

  3. Click on Monitor to go to the monitor tab with the vSphere Replication sub-tab selected.

  4. Select either Outgoing Replications or Incoming Replications.

  5. Select the replication, right-click on it, and click on the Move to... menu item:

  6. You should now be presented with a list of vSphere Replication servers registered to the site the VM is being replicated to. Make a selection and click on OK:
