While running the initial install of SRM exe I'm receiving the following error message: Has anyone encountered this error and if so, how did you resolve?

Hello

Any one provide me some guidance to prepare Low Level design document for SRM? If I get any template will be great!

Thanks

Hello

I am installing a dual datacentre vSphere 6.5 solution which uses NetApp hardware. At the primary ste we have an AFA 200 All flash array, and at the DR site, a 8200 Hybrid array.

We will be using Clustered ONTAP 9.x and Site recovery Manager 6.5.1.

When I check the compatibility matrix for SRM, it only details a single SRA being available, which is listed as NetApp Santricity SRA which lists only E-Series arrays.

On the NetApp site, there is a Virtual Appliance for download, which looks like it is a provides all of the functionality previously provided by the VASA, VCS and SRA software. This is really confusiong as it looks like this is not yet supported by VMware?

Does any have SRM 6.5x running with NetApp arrays that can verify what works and what doesn't?

Sean

Good day everyone,

I would like some assistance with a error I'm getting at my protected site with SRM when i log into the web client.

The error occurred after i rejoined my host at my protected site to vCenter and re installed SRM at the protected site and reconfigured my replication, sites and protected groups.

So the error occurs every time i login to the web client on the protected site it first says No matching SRM key found then goes on to say SRM server with guid not found.

The strange think is if i click on home and go to Site recovery manager i can see my site pairings, can access my protected groups and recovery plan.

I have broke the pairing and reconfigured the protected and reocvery site but i am still getting the error on the protected site

The recovery site is fine and I'm not getting any errors there

Hello all,

I am currently working on an implementation of SRM.

My setup consists of Vmware SRM server build 3037005, vCenter 6.0, ESXi 6.0.0 and IBM Storwize Family Storage Replication Adapter.

Pretty much everything is up and running, I am able to recover some test VMs to the recovery site, but so far I have not been able to reprotect the VMs in the secondary site.

After running the recovery plan completes  I am left with my machines up and runnning in the TR site.

When I try to reprotect the VMs I get errors.

The recovery plan fails at the stage where it should reverse the replication.

messages shown are:

Failed to reverse replication for failed over devices. SRA command 'ReverseReplication' failed. Invalid connection parameters.

The protection groups hangs in the status 'Reprotecting'.

From what I found in documentation this should be a temporary status and it should, change to one of these values:

Group returns to OK or Not Configured state when reprotect is successful. If reprotect fails, the group goes to Partially Reprotected state.

When I look at the information in the Array Pair screen, I see these errors:

Unable to find a matching consistency group at the local site for the remote consistency group "TEST-01"

Unable to find a matching consistency group at the remote site for the local consistency group "TEST-01"

In the list of array pairs the status has changed to "? unknown"

I already updated the SRA to version 3.2.0 but it has not changed anything.

There is one primary question I am curious about. The SRM servers with the SRA on it have the configuration utility for SRA.

If I run this utility I get a warning that it is unable to connect to the peer array in the other data center.

So it has no issues login in to the storage box that is in the same datacenter, but cannot logon to the remote storage box.

Since this is a warning I am assuming it is not critical, but I need confirmation on this

Before I start initiating changes in the network to make this possible, I want to be sure it has to be possible to reach the remote storage box with the SRA.

Any help or insights is greatly appreciated,

JJ

for a while i was looking for a decent report to export all vm's in ALL protection groups with the information i needed(notes, cpu , etc).

One of the guys I work with created a script that does just that.  Here it is below and attached.

This script gives you all vm's in all protection groups as well as if they are being replicated and the status of that replication.  Along with some other handy info(cpu/notes/memory etc)

Enjoy and share!

Ran on latest version of srm to date.

you can run it by typing this at the ps cli:

Hello,

I am working with an environment that was left to get way behind and right now they are running vCenter 5.0 as well as SRM 5.0.

I have an upgrade plan put together with stepped upgrades of all of the components but I would love to know that the environment is "stable" as it sits right now.

The main issue I have is when I attempt to open the SRM plugin I get the following error:

"Connection Error: Lost connection to SRM server <IP>:8095

Login of SRM server 'Datacenter' into vCenter Server at '<servername>:80' failed.  Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password.

Any advice on how to overcome this?  Like I said, the plan is to upgrade all components ASAP, but I would like to know everything is working as is before we start.

I have configured VMware SRM 6.1.1.2 with RecoverPoint SRA 2.2.0.3. All tests include the following steps have done successfully.

Test recovery mode was donec correctly and I am capability of return to main site by Cleanup button.

Meanwhile, Fail over recovery in Planned migration is done and after that I could be able to Reprotect and fail back in Planned migration to the production site.

My only problem is when I'm going to do fail over and fail back in Disaster recovery mode! first, I shutdown all the hosts suddenly and then run the recovery plan in Disaster recovery mode. It will be done successfully and therefore, all VMs will be power on in the disaster site. On the contrary, Reprotect button is not able and it would be grayed If I wanna to fail back to production site.

Should it be reversed and returned to main sites from EMC RecoverPoint?

what are your opinions about this circumstance?

I hope someone can help with this....

12 months ago we had consultants in to help configure SRM and automate failover into DR if/when required. My question relates to testing DR and how domain controllers are best configured to be able to provide services to application servers,etc when testing in our DR test network.

Currently, we have been told to bring up the DC in test only after reverting to the latest VMware snapshot due to 'USN issues'. After this, we can then fire up the rest of the servers. Is this best practice? It doesn't seem that 'automated' to me and am wanting further advice from others on this. The tests we do always seem unreliable at best, therefore my post on here.

For reference, we have 2 sites. One production with all our DC's, app servers, Vcenter and SRM server. The DR site has a DC, Vcenter and SRM server.

We have had another third party look over the setup and they have questioned certain practices with the above, such as the way we have to revert to a DC snapshot. Also, is SRM sensitive to differences in versions of VMware tools? We had 1 or 2 servers with version differences. Could this upset any testing we do?

Many thanks for any help you give.

Hi,

I have a couple of Recovery Plans which are in "Test Interrupted" status, I only have the option to rerun the test but the SRM service crashes when I do this.

I'm using the embedded database, is there any way to reset the status in the database ?

Hello,

I need a bit of help with an SRM license problem on ESXi6.0 essentials please.

I know this topic has various posts but nothing seems to quite maftch my exact problem. I come from a hyper-V background so am not a complete expert on this system so if any advice given I may need point by point instructions to get to things in vcentre.

This system was working until I went to add another VM to our protection group today and got the error 'There are not enough Licenses installed'

Checking my V-Centre servers shows I have an installed license for 25 VMs on the protected site and the Recovery site and they appear to show the correct servers as assets.

I note though that both vcentre servers the licenses show 0 of 25 VMs in use where as the essentials license shows the correct CPU count etc.

I have restarted both ends vcentre servers this morning and tried again but change. Oh and I only have 22 VMs currently on the SRM so should be within the license.

I really don't know where to go at this point so any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello All

I am using SRM 5.8.1 build  2991419. Recently, we are having issues where SRM pair is broken using our domain accounts. With Administrator@vsphere.local, I can browse the pair, configured network mappings, browse protection groups, etc. However, with our domain accounts, it gives me the error "Failed to connect to site recovery manager, Cause : Failed to retrieve pairs from site recovery manager server at https://X.X.X.X:8095/dr ". Our SSO identity source is defaulted to type "Local OS" , but we do have "Active Directory (Integrated Windows Authentication)" set as well for the entire root domain.  We have the vcenter servers in liked mode.

1. I have checked the communication from from the VC server to the SRM server, and both are listening, as well as established on port 8095.

2. Telnet also seems to work fine on that port. Uninstalled ad re-installed SRM onto a new database, still same issue, which leads me to believe something is wrong at the AD authentication site. We have our AD groups added to the permission, I have even added my account individually to the permissions section, still same issue.

3. Below are the SRM logs which I see.  I have already added the parameter <WaitForUpdatesTimeout>300</WaitForUpdatesTimeout> to the SRM config file and restarted the SRM services, since the below logs state that there has been a timeout of 900 seconds. So, changed it to lesser time of 300, so that in case there is any firewall, where its timing out, atleast SRM's value is lesser than that.

4. I have tried adding "Active Directory as a LDAP server" with base dn configured, testing the connection is also successful, restarted SRM service, still same issue.

5. Uninstalled and Re-installed SRM onto a new database altogether, still same issue, Administrator@vsphere.local works, but not with domain accounts.

Can someone, please assist me, on what is going wrong.

I have setup two one node ONTAP clusters  with a replicating snapmirror relationship between the protected site's NFS volume and recovery site.

SRM is installed with the SRA server and SRA adapter on each Vcenter.

Everything installed without error. I placed a VM on the protected NFS Volume. When I created a Protection Group its says after the creation that "There are configuration issues with associated VMs."

How do I troubleshoot this error?

We have an environment on vSphere 6.0 and configured on HP SAN arrays.we are going to implement SRM with two SRA which is work simultanously. We have got 2 questions

firstly, If we want to run SRM with 2 SRA, is it possible or not? one SRa should gather data from EVA 8400 and the second should connect to 3PAR storage. what is your recommendation?

second question is that If there are several virtual machines that their disks (VMDKs) stored on different SAN, could be managed via the SRM to recover these virtual machines?

could you share us the best recommendation for Storage array replication methods and your applied experiences.

Vmware SRM service is not starting after upgrading windows OS from 2008 to windows 2012, getting error: dependency service doesn't exists. As protected service is deprecated from windows 2012 which is the dependency service for SRM. Tried removing protected storage service from below path but no luck.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ProtectedStorage

Can someone please help me on this.

Integrating EMC RecoverPoint Appliance (RPA) with VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM). However, before we dive in, if you are not familiar with RPA technology, let me explain first with a high overview:

RPAs are a block LUN IP based replication appliance. RPAs are zoned via FC with all available storage ports.  RPAs leverage a “Replication Journal” to track changes within a LUN, once the LUNs have fully seeded between the two sites, the journal log will only send changed deltas over the WAN.  This allows you to keep your existing WAN link and not spend more money on WAN expansion.  The RPA’s use of the journal log allows it to efficiently track changes to the LUNS and replicate the differences over the WAN.  Because RPA can track the changes to the LUNs it can create a Bookmark every 5-10 sec depending on the rate of change and bandwidth.  This will keep your data up to date and within a 10 second recover point objective.  RPA can also allow you to restore or test your replicated data from any one of the bookmarks created.

Leveraging RPA with VMware LUNs greatly increases the availability of your data upon any maintenance or disaster.  Because RPA Blue Prism Training replicate block LUNs, RPAs will replicate LUNs that have datastores formatted on them.

At high overview, to failover a datastore you would:

1. Initiate a failover on the RPA.
2. Add the LUNs into an existing storage group in the target site.
3. Rescan your HBAs in Vsphere O.
4. Once the LUNs are visible you will notice a new data store available.
5. Open the datastore and add all the VMs into inventory.
6. Once all the VMs added configure your networking and power up your machine.

Although this procedure may seem straight forward, your RTO (Recovery Time Objective) will increase.

With VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) integration, plug-in the failover procedure can be automated.  With SRM you have the ability to build policies as to which v-switch you want each VM to move to as well as which VM you want to power up first.  Once the policies are built and tested (yes you can test failover), to failover your virtual site you simply hit the failover button and watch the magic happen.

SRM will automate the entire failover process and bring your site online in a matter of a few seconds or minutes depending on the size of your virtual site.  If you are considering replicating your virtual environment, I’d advise considering how long you can sustain to be down and how much data you can sustain to lose.  The use of Recover Point Appliance and Site Recovery Manager can assure that you can achieve your disaster recovery goals.

I had to reinstall vCenter from scratch and now SRM does not work. Tried to launch SRM and choose option "modify" as suggested in this article https://docs.vmware.com/en/Site-Recovery-Manager/5.8/com.vmware.srm.install_config.doc/GUID-55A0D565-333C-4A5D-9B34-429DB48DBF5D.html

Modify a Site Recovery Manager Server Installation.  Modify started but when it comes to the certificate, it failed. The only what I found is log file from the second SRM server which says that there is a problem with the certificate (different PeerThumbprint and ExpectedThumbprint). The error message is similar to this article https://ssbkang.com/2014/10/23/site-recovery-manager-vcenter-server-ssl-replace/.

Is it possible to pair two SRM after rebuilding one of vCenter from scratch and getting a new certificate?

Is possible to update SRM to accept new Thumbprint/certificate from reinstalled vCenter?

Vmware version is 5.5. and SRM is 5.8.
