Implementing VxRail HCI Solutions

Overview of this book

Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) can help you simplify the provisioning and daily operations of computing and storage. With this book, you'll understand how HCI can offload the day 0 deployment and day-to-day operations of a system administrator. You'll explore the VxRail Appliance, which is an HCI solution that provides lifecycle management, automation, and operational simplicity. Starting with an overview of the VxRail Appliance system architecture and components, you'll understand the benefits of the VxRail system and compare it with the environment of traditional servers and storage. As you advance, the book covers topics such as disaster recovery and active-active and active-passive solutions for VxRail. By the end of this book, you'll have gained the confidence to manage the deployment, administration, planning, and design of a VxRail system.

Creating SRM recovery plans

In this section, we will discuss how to create an SRM recovery plan:

  1. Go to the Site Recovery dashboard. Choose the Recovery Plans tab and then click the NEW button:

    Figure 8.65 – Creating a new SRM recovery plan

  2. Specify the name of the recovery plan and select the direction (site A to site B). Then, click the NEXT button:

    Figure 8.66 – Specifying the recovery plan name

  3. Select all the SRM test networks in the VxRail cluster at site B (setup covered in step 7 of the Configuring SRM inventory mappings section), and then click the NEXT button:

    Figure 8.67 – Setting up the SRM test network in recovery plans

  4. Review the recovery plan settings and then click the FINISH button:

Figure 8.68 – Reviewing the recovery plan settings

Once we have finished with the SRM recovery plan, the configuration of the active-passive solution for VxRail is complete.
