RecoverPoint to replicate the data, there is no awareness of the virtual infrastructure
at the destination site. You will either need to script a process to scan for and register
virtual machines on the replicated volumes, or you will need to manually configure
each virtual machine on the destination side. Alternatively you can utilize VMware
vCenter™ Site Recovery Manager to automate this process.
Regardless of the technology, the target virtual machines will be stored in a powered
off, or cold, state until they are required. To provide some level of virtual machine
awareness RecoverPoint implemented a storage replication adapter, which enables
RecoverPoint to be utilized as an external replication provider for VMware vCenter Site
Recovery Manager. VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager automates the scanning
and registration process of the replicated volumes for the virtual machines and their
data as part of the disaster recovery failover process.
VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager
Traditional disaster recovery solutions leave many organizations unable to meet
recovery time and recovery point objectives. The slow and often manual recovery
processes common in traditional disaster recovery solutions are prone to errors and
result in frequent failures. VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) provides
business continuity and disaster recovery protection for virtual environments.
Protection can extend from individual replicated datastores to an entire virtual site.
VMware’s virtualization of the data center offers advantages that you can apply to
business continuity and disaster recovery.
Using VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager with RecoverPoint
VMware vCenter SRM automates the recovery process so it becomes as simple as
pressing a single button. There is no need for the user to interact with the
RecoverPoint console and the VMware console; instead VMware automates the
process. All the user has to do is ensure that the production virtual machines are
mapped to LUNs that are replicated by RecoverPoint to the remote site.
SRM leverages an external replication solution between protected and recovery sites.
The workflow that is built into SRM automatically discovers the datastores that are set
up for replication between the protected and recovery sites. You can configure SRM to
support bi-directional protection between the two sites.
As you can see by Figure 7, RecoverPoint sits below the VMware Infrastructure and is
responsible for replicating all changes from the production LUNs to the remote
replicate LUNs at the disaster recovery site. The RecoverPoint storage replication
adapter is installed on the same servers that are running vCenter Server and the
vCenter Server Site Recovery Manager plug-in in the production and disaster recovery
sites.
The benefits of RecoverPoint are that the replication can be between differing arrays,
such as between a Symmetrix and a VNX series or between an EMC storage array and
a qualified third-party storage array. Additionally, there is no requirement that the
production volumes be attached to the VMware servers in RDM/P mode; instead the
data can reside on VMFS file systems that are contained on the production LUNs.
