Disaster Recovery Using VMware vSphere Replication and vCenter Site Recovery Manager - Second Edition

By: Abhilash G B

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.

Summary


In this chapter, you learned how to deploy and configure vRealize Orchestrator to enable orchestration of tasks on vCenter Server instances. You also learned how to install vRO plugins for SRM and vSphere Replication. Since creating custom workflows is beyond the scope of this book, I would recommend that you read Using VMware vRealize Orchestrator Plug-Ins and Developing with VMware vRealize Orchestrator available at the vRealize Orchestration documentation home page: https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/orchestrator_pubs.html. You also learned how to get to the log files of both SRM and vSphere Replication. You also learned how to change the logging level of SRM logs. The chapter also included additional references to troubleshooting articles.
