      1Site Recovery Manager

      1

      Site Recovery Manager 5.0 (SRM) pairs data center sites and provides replication and disaster recovery (DR) for VMware virtual infrastructure.

      2vSphere Replication

      2

      vSphere Replication (VR), shown in the lower right, is a new feature in SRM 5.0 and enables DR without requiring more expensive, hardware array-based replication.

      3Configuring the Replication Process

      3

      This test configured VR to run with a relatively generous four-hour recovery point objective that reduced network and system resource use, but created a greater exposure on the ability to recover the system.

      4Defining Protection Groups

      4

      Protection groups are collections of virtual machines and templates that are used to help determine how the recovery plan will work.

      5Priority Group

      5

      Priority Groups determine the restart order and can include dependencies.

      6Customize IP Address Assignments

      6

      VM IP address assignments can be handled by SRM according to rules included in the recovery plan.

      7Recovery Steps

      7

      Live action status shows the overall progress of the recovery plan.

      8Recovery Plan Report

      8

      The Recovery Plan history report shows what happened at each step of a recovery plan run.

      9Planned Migration

      9

      Planned migration is a new feature of SRM that can run a recovery plan, but will gracefully stop if an error is encountered.

      10Migration in Process

      10

      The live action recovery screen shows that the planned migration is going according to plan.

      11Panic Button

      11

      Once a disaster recovery operation is initiated, the process permanently alters both VMs and the virtual infrastructure, and thus requires additional confirmation before SRM will begin execution.
