5 VMware Site Recovery Manager Simple and Reliable Recovery of VMs across Sites with Minimal or No Downtime Production Site Site Recovery Manager vsphere Servers vsphere Replication Array-based replication Recovery Site Site Recovery Manager vsphere Servers Overview Automation software to orchestrate application recovery and mobility across sites Centralized recovery plans for thousands of VMs Non-disruptive recovery testing Automated orchestration workflows (failover, migration, failback) Support for broad range of 3 rd party replication solutions from major storage vendors Integrated with vsphere Replication 5

6 Support for Any Application Running on vsphere From the VM s perspective VMtools Shutdown (If customizing IP address) Power On Customize IP address Shutdown Power On 6

8 Flexible Site Pairing SRM 8.1 and VR 8.1 interoperate with multiple versions of vcenter SRM 8.1 vcenter 6.0U3, 6.5, 6.7, VMC Versioned APIs Allow Multi-Release Compatibility VR 8.1 vsphere / vsan VR 8.1 vsphere / vsan SRM 8.1 vcenter 6.0U3, 6.5, 6.7, VMC Eliminate need to match versions between sites Decouple SRM and VC upgrades NEW IN SRM 8.1 Simplify interoperability across vcenter, SRM and vsphere Replication releases 8

9 HA, DRS and Storage DRS They Just Work HA Just works DRS Just works and used at Recovery Site Storage DRS It works too SDRS SDRS DATASTORE CLUSTER CG 1 CG 2 9

10 Support for vsphere Fault Tolerance Protected VMs Additional Protection for Important VMs Recovery VM SRM Protection FT Primary VM FT Protection FT Secondary VM Critical VMs utilizing vsphere Fault Tolerance can now be protected by SRM Requirements: NEW IN SRM 8.1 All disks must be located on the same consistency group as the Primary FT protected VMs are recovered without FT enabled 10

17 Architecture Considerations Main Goals Protect vra management components & production workloads Incorporate DR protection capability into provisioning process Recover all components & resume day 2 operations Management Components Protect Workloads Recover Workloads 17

18 ManagedBy vra & SRM Their View of the World Each solution has a totally different role to play within SDDC Unrelated objects for managing the VM workloads and resources Reservations vra Compute Resource Business Groups Fabric Groups Blueprints Data Collection Endpoints Storage Paths SRM Datastore Groups Protection Groups Placeholder VM s Recovery Plans Recovery Workflows (Failover/Test) Reprotect Workflows Site Pairs Replication Source / Target 18

19 The Impact of Change Site to Site Migration Migrating to a new site changes a lot of things that need to be handled! What object states will change when the VM location changes? What object states must be updated to reflect new state? vra 7.4 vcenter SRM 8.1 Reservation, Storage Path, Data Collection vm-84 Protected VM, Protection Group Change Reference Reservation, Storage Path, Data Collection vm-62 Placeholder VM, Recovery Plan vra 7.4 vcenter SRM

24 vra Provisioning with Automated SRM Protection Tying vra Policy Based Provisioning to SRM Protection To protect a VM it needs to be: possess valid SRM inventory mappings Compute / Network / Folder replicated (Array or vsphere Replication) associated with a protection group or a Storage Policy New York Site Protection Group Replication Las Vegas Site Placeholder vm 24

25 Storage Policy-Based Protection Groups Storage Policy Profile Driven Protection Group Policy Driven Protection New Style Protection Group leveraging storage profiles High level of automation compared to traditional protection groups Policy based approach reduces OpEx Simpler integration of VM provisioning, migration, and decommissioning 25

33 Time to Add in Some Automation. Let s automate protection of workloads as part of vra provisioning A few capabilities that will help! SRM VRO plugin Allows us to automatically protect workloads with SRM! Configure per-vm SRM recovery settings like: Recovery priority Command- call-outs Etc vra extensibility using vro workflows IP Subnet Mappings 33

43 How Do SRM Workflows Affect vra Management? SRM Recovery State vra Observations Protecting Day 2 vra operations performed against primary site VMs Placeholder VMs are ignored Testing Day 2 vra operations performed against primary site VMs Test VMs are ignored After Migration or Failover Workloads are successfully recovered Day 2 vra operations inoperative until vra is available and reservation is updated 43

49 After Migration or Failover Key steps to complete after a migration or failover Step 1. Recover vra (if necessary) Detail vra components either needs to be deployed in a distributed HA configuration, or Recovered by SRM to second site 2. Update Data Collection If protected site is lost disable data collection from its end point Perform data collection on recovery site 3. Update Reservations and Storage Paths Update reservation on secondary site 49
