Challenges of Disaster Recovery
Minimize downtime
Reduce risk
Control cost
Many manual processes for recoveryMultiple steps to overcome hardware differencesIncomplete or out-of-date runbooks
Testing requires additional hardware and infrastructureUsually only data is regularly and cleanly updatedFrequent failures during recovery
Simplest recovery requires identical hardwareIdle recovery hardware is impossible to repurposeMultiple third-party products necessary for recovery

Testing a Recovery PlanSRM enables you to ‘Test’ a recovery plan by simulating a failover
with zero downtime to the protected VMs in the protected site
Site A - Protected Site
Source LUN(shared-san-2)
Site B - Recovery Site
Clone LUN(shared-san-2)
Read WriteEnabled
Data Replication continues between the Source LUN and Target LUNThe data synchronization between the Target LUN and the Clone LUN is suspended
Target LUN(shared-san-2)
Note: Datastore ‘shared-san-1’ will be in the same configuration state as ‘shared-san-2’
Protected VMs(app_vm7 to app_vm12)
Protected VMs powered on in Site B during the SRM

SRM will automatically perform a re-signature on the Datastores in the Recovery Site that were replicated from the SRM Protected Site
LVM.EnableResignature=1With a re-signature - Datastore names will change to snapxxxx_datastorename, for example
snap-00000002-shared-san-1snap-00000002-shared-san-2
WARNING - The re-signature of the target datastore has implications during a failback (resync) of data back to the SRM Protected Site

Site Recovery Manager Core Benefits
Expand disaster recovery protectionNow any workload in a VM can be protected with minimal incremental effort and cost
Reduce time to recoveryAs soon as disaster is declared, a single button kicks off recovery sequence for hundreds of VMs
Increase reliability of recoveryReplication of system state ensures a VM has all it needs to startup
Hardware independence eliminates failures due to different hardware
Easier testing based off of actual failover sequence allows more
frequent and more realistic tests
