VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5.0
Evaluation Guide
Exercise 2. Deploying vSphere Replication
alternative means of protecting and replicating virtual machines between sites. It is entirely managed within the
SRM interface after initial deployment and configuration, and integrates with storage array–based replication to
provide full coverage of the virtual environment.
The assumption is that there are multiple databases for vSphere Replication already configured for use, one
at each site. In this evaluation guide, we will be using Microsoft SQL Server as a database, and using native
SQL authentication for access.
Workflow covered will be as follows:
3. Pair VRMS.
4. Deploy vSphere Replication Server (VRS).
5. Register VRS.
6. Configure virtual machines for protection with vSphere Replication.
7. Create a protection group using vSphere Replication–protected virtual machines.
Step 1: Deploy vSphere Replication Management Server
The VRM servers act as a management framework for vSphere Replication, and therefore it is required that a
VRM server be deployed and configured at both protected and recovery sites.
To deploy a VRMS:
3. Click the Site Recovery
4. Choose the menu item on the left navigation pane entitled vSphere Replication, and select the protected
Summary View panel should show no VRM servers, or status. Click on Deploy VRM Server
in the actions list on the right.
