I would like to sever the WAN connection between my 2 datacenters, run recovery, test basic functionality of all VMs and then shut down the recovered datacenter. Since there was no communication between SRM to SRM and VC to VC, what will I need to do after shutdown of the recovered datacenter? I was going to do the below:
- delete the Recovery Plan and protection group in DR
- power down all DR VMs and remove from inventory
- unmounts datastore from DR hosts
- get replication reset (Nutanix) in primary > DR direction as needed from DR
- reconnect the WAN
- get replication reset (Nutanix) in primary > DR direction as needed from primary
- ??? with SRM
What state will SRM be in after reconnect of the datacenters? Will it see no recovery plan, no protection groups (deleted at DR) and I will just recreate the PG and Recovery Plan anew and go on my way?
Clik here to view.
