SRM 8.2 plugin on VCSA 6.7 U2

Hi,

 

As of SRM version 8.2 there is no VCSA plugin, right?

 

Thank you.


Failed to find a vCenter Server from %s.

Hello,

 

I have a single platform services controller called psc.itdemoguy.ca and two vCenters called vcprod1.itdemoguy.ca and drvc1.itdemoguy.ca.  I have a single SSO domain called itdemoguy.local.  Both vCenters have been added as target sites for each other, VR appliances have been deployed and configured, and I have some VMs being replicated across the sites.

 

 

I am getting the attached error attempting to install SRM immediately after entering the information for my platform services controller.  I suspect that this error is due to the fact that I have two vCenters connecting to a single Platform Services controller, however I believe this configuration is a supported practice.

 

Any suggestions as to what I could try?

 

Thanks.

Hello, I have question. I ran a recovery test and received an error on one of the servers. Has anyone seen this error before?

automating vRealize Operations Multi-node analytics cluster failover

$
0
0

first off i should say I'm new to working with SRM, I'm currently in the process of configuring an SRM recovery plan for a 4 node (master, replicate and two data node) vROPS analytics cluster.

 

I am currently using the below to automate the changes to the IP config on each of the appliances / nodes

/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_network eth0 STATICV4 xx.xx.xx.xx 255.255.255.240 xx.xx.xx.xx && reboot

 

Then using the details in https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Suite/7.0/com.vmware.vrsuite.srm.doc/GUID-F3CC4642-4F89-4249-8C56-D676B1015DED.html

 

I know i then need to make the following changes on the vm once its started to be recovered on the dr site:

 

$VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN /usr/lib/vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/sliceConfiguration/bin/vcopsConfigureRoles.py --action bringSliceOffline --offlineReason "SRM Failover"
service vmware-casa stop
##Need to automate changes to $VCOPS_BASE/user/conf/cassandra/cassandra.yaml 
service vmware-casa start 
$VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN /usr/lib/vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/sliceConfiguration/bin/vcopsConfigureRoles.py --adminCS xx.xx.xx.xx, xx.xx.xx.xx
$VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN /usr/lib/vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/sliceConfiguration/bin/vcopsConfigureRoles.py --action bringSliceOnline

 

What i am struggling with is how to pass these commands through to the vm from SRM itself and in particular how best to deal with the cassandara yaml updates.

 

i am hoping this has been dealt with plenty of times previously and that someone can point me in the right direct.

Procedure for declaring DR using SRA

$
0
0

Hi,

 

When we declare DR in SRM we understand that primary storage will not replicate data to secondary storage.

 

Question 1:

 

But in a NOT DR scenario, a synchronously synchronized storage, can I use the SRM (Test) option without having to disable storage synchronization?

 

Question 2:

 

I want to simulate a DR scenario in real practice.

 

Knowing this is not a true DR, as I will actually simulate the production VM shutdown before declaring DR in SRM, do I have to disable or pause synchronous synchronization?

 

 

Thank you.

Does SRM 8.1.x have Appliance deployment model

Hi Folks,

 

The intention is to deploy complete VMware Infrastructure components using appliance & vPosgres Database, this way we could keep the environment footprint slim and also benefit from Windows license.

Therefore, I would like to deploy VMware SRM 8.1.x for vCSA 6.5 U2 with External PSC.

 

Below thread states, we have SRM appliance from 8.1.2 but couldn't get any reference or download link from VMware site.

General questions - VCSA 6.7 with SRM 8.1

 

And in other site, SRM appliance is available for 8.1.0.1402.

http://vsphere-land.com/news/srm-deployed-as-an-appliance.html

 

If anybody could shed some light on it, would be great to finalize the design.

VCenter and SRM Protection

$

Hello,

 

In a DR case, to reprotect the primary site must be available.

 

Does this mean that I need to install and reconfigure vcenter and srm on the main site and do all the configuration with srm from the DR site?

 

Or can I protect them using SRM?

 

Thank you.


Remove VM from a Protection Group is greyed out.

SRM permission Administrator role

Hi,

 

I accidentally changed the Administrator Role from the SRM Permission to "VRM virtual machine replication user". And now all actions from the SRM are not permitted. It also reflected on vSphere Roles, I able to revert the snapshot of vCenter server and PSC. But from the SRM permission the setting is still unable to modify. See picture. I'm trying to reinstall the SRM if the permission will be back to normal.

Thank You.

I have a requirement to build a new DR site with higher capacity than the existing one. I want to how best this can be done with minimal disruption through SRM ? Does SRM support shared protection site to multiple recovery site ?

I have a requirement to build a new DR site with higher capacity than the existing one.  I want to how best this can be done with minimal disruption through SRM ? Does SRM support shared protection site to multiple recovery site ?

 

Scenario:

 

Existing protected site : carlstadt

Exisiting Recovery site : Philly

 

Now, The DC in Philly has limited resources to handle the DR capabilities of all production workloads.

So, a new DC has been setup in Denver.

 

New DR site :   Denver

 

How can I go-ahead with SRM configuration to achieve the DR capabilities between Carlstadt and Denver ? Once the DR is setup between Carlstadt and Denver, we want to failover each protection groups from Carlstadt --> philly to Carlstadt --> Denver.

 

SRM version used : 8.1

Replication : Array based replication

 

I am happy to provide any additional requested details.

Hi all

 

If you use Google Chrome browser with your Site Recovery UI client and you face an issue that Chrome does not show neither the status bar nor the pages to go to at the bottom of the list and you cannot scroll or the Recent tasks bar disappears, this is a known issue, already fixed in patch SRM 8.2.0.1 - VMware Site Recovery Manager 8.2 Release Notes

and in vSphere Replication 8.2.0.1 - VMware vSphere Replication 8.2 Release Notes

You can upgrade any one of the solutions to 8.2.0.1 to resolve the issue.

Hello,

 

Trying to install NetApp SRA in SRM.  SRA detected the NetApp controller at the remote site but I won't at the local site.  I always get this error message : Failed to load SRA from 'C:/Program Files (x86)/VMware/VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager/storage/sra/ONTAP'. SRA command 'queryInfo' didn't return a response.

 

I have tried uninstall/reinstall SRM, SRA, Perl : nothing as changed.  If anyone have an idea about what could be the problem, it would be great to share it over here.

 

Thanks,

Hello all,

 

unfortunately a VM was removed from Cluster before the protection of SRM was removed.

Now the VM has the status "Invalid: Protected VM deleted".

Any ideas or hints how this one can be removed?

Site Recovery Manager in a Two-Site Topology with Multiple vCenter Server Instances per Platform Services Controller

 

My   question if is  possible to configure this with just one SRM vcenter on Site B

so, in this case, both SRm's from Site A would be  paired with this  same SRM on site B( with vCenter embedded PSC)
