If you plan to use Array Based Replication for your SRM implementation, you’ll need to install and configure your Storage Replication Adapter on your SRM Servers. The SRA is used for SRM to communicate with the array to do things like snapshots, and mounting of datastores. Pair the Arrays Once your SRAs have been installed in both your sites and you’ve gotten the arrays replicating, you’ll want to pair the arrays in SRM so that they can be used for protection Groups. Open the “Array Based Replication” tab in the “Site Recovery” menu of the web client. Click the Add button. ...

In the previous post we installed VMware Site Recovery Manger and now we need to do our Site Setup. If you notice, now that SRM has been installed, the vSphere Web Client now has a Site Recovery menu in it. (If it doesn’t, log out and back in) From here, we can go into the new SRM menus. Site Pairing Once you’ve gotten to the SRM Menus, we’ll want to click on Sites to configure our Sites. ...

SRM Installation Prerequisites Database Prerequisites Before you are able to install SRM, you’ll need a database to store configuration files. Create a database on your SQL Server to house the configuration information. Note: You’ll need a database server in both the protected site and recovery site; one for each SRM Server. Pre-create the SQL Database and assign your SRM Service account AT LEAST the ADMINISTER BULK OPERATIONS, CONNECT, AND CREATE TABLE permissions. Ensure the SRM database schema has the same name as the database user account. The SRM database service account should be the database owner of the SRM database The SRM database schema should be the default schema of the SRM database user. On your SRM Servers, install the SQL Server native client for your version of SQL Server. Create an ODBC connection to the SRM database on your SRM Servers. Select the SQL Native Client appropriate for your database server. ...

VMware Site Recovery Manager consists of several different pieces that all have to fit together, let alone the fact that you are working with two different physical locations. The following components will all need to be configured for a successful SRM implementation: 2 or more sites 2 or more Single Sign On Servers 2 or more vCenter Servers 5.5 2 or more SRM Servers Storage – Either storage arrays with replication, or 2 or more Virtual Replication Appliances Networks It’s worth noting that SSO, vCenter, and SRM could all be installed on the same machine, but you’ll need this many instances of these components. ...
