vSphereReplication

• Automation software to orchestrate application recovery and mobility across sites

• Centralized recovery plans for thousands of VMs

• Non-disruptive recovery testing

• Automated orchestration workflows (failover, migration, failback)

• Support for broad range of 3rd party replication solutions from major storage vendors

• Integrated with vSphere Replication

Flexible Site Pairing

Eliminate need to match versions between sites

Decouple SRM and VC upgrades

Simplify interoperability across vCenter, SRM and vSphere Replication releases

SRM 8.1 and VR 8.1 interoperate with multiple versions of vCenter

Support for vSphere Fault Tolerance Protected VMs

Critical VMs utilizing vSphere Fault Tolerance can now be protected by SRM

Requirements:• All disks must be located on

the same consistency group as the Primary

• FT protected VMs are recovered without FT enabled

Migrating to a new site changes a lot of things that need to be handled!

What object states will change when the VM location changes?

What object states must be updated to reflect new state?

The Impact of Change – Site to Site Migration

Protecting Workloads



Tying vRA Policy Based Provisioning to SRM Protection

To protect a VM it needs to be:• possess valid SRM inventory mappings – Compute / Network / Folder• replicated (Array or vSphere Replication)• associated with a protection group or a Storage Policy

Storage Policy-Based Protection Groups

• Policy Driven Protection

• New Style Protection Group leveraging storage profiles

• High level of automation compared to traditional protection groups

• Policy based approach reduces OpEx

• Simpler integration of VM provisioning, migration, and decommissioning

VRA Compute Resource Configuration



vRA Reservation Configuration



Let’s automate protection of workloads as part of vRA provisioning

A few capabilities that will help!

SRM VRO plugin• Allows us to automatically protect workloads with SRM!• Configure per-VM SRM recovery settings like:

– Recovery priority– Command- call-outs– Etc…

vRA extensibility using vRO workflows

IP Subnet Mappings

Time to Add in Some Automation….



Recovering Workloads



SRM Recovery State vRA ObservationsProtecting • Day 2 vRA operations performed against primary

site VMs• Placeholder VMs are ignored

Testing • Day 2 vRA operations performed against primary site VMs

• Test VMs are ignored

After Migration or Failover • Workloads are successfully recovered• Day 2 vRA operations inoperative until vRA

is available and reservation is updated

Recovery Plan for vRA Management Component – final



Key steps to complete after a migration or failover

After Migration or Failover

Step Detail1. Recover vRA

(if necessary)• vRA components either needs to be deployed

in a distributed HA configuration, or…• Recovered by SRM to second site

2. Update Data Collection • If protected site is “lost” disable data collection • from its end point• Perform data collection on recovery site

3. Update Reservations and Storage Paths

• Update reservation on secondary site
