Figure 10. Automated recovery using Site Recovery Manager and
RecoverPoint
VMware vCenter SRM simplifies and centralizes the creation and ongoing
management of disaster recovery plans. SRM turns traditional oversized disaster
recovery processes into automated plans that are easy to manage, store, and
document. Additionally, SRM is tightly integrated with VMware Infrastructure 3, so
you can create, manage, and update recovery plans from the same place that you
manage your virtual infrastructure.
Figure 10 shows that during a disaster the VMware administrator can utilize SRM to
perform the disaster recovery. Following the recovery plan, SRM shuts down the
appropriate virtual machine(s) and selects the most recent image replicated by
RecoverPoint. At the remote site this image becomes visible to the DR ESX server. At
the point that the DR ESX discovers the new LUNs, SRM registers the virtual machines
that reside on the LUNs and then powers up the virtual machines. When the
administrator needs to fail back the virtual machine it is very simple to use the
RecoverPoint GUI to reverse the replication direction and resynchronize the data. A
semi-automated overview using Site Recovery Manager is described below. Once data
is fully synchronized a failback can be performed where the virtual machine at the DR
site is shut down and the local virtual machine is restarted with the recovered data.
