Any issues with the following remote site scenario from a VMware vCenter or SRM perspective.
In this scenario. three sites are managed under 1 vCenter and recovered to the DR facility using SRM and vCenter. the main question mark is around the role of the WAN/Latency and bandwidth in this situation.
vCenter 1 (At Primary site with remote offices under management)
- Single vCenter
- SRM server
- Cluster 1
- 5 Hosts
- NetApp Storage replicated to DR facility synchronous
- 5 Hosts
- Cluster 2 (Remote Site 1 with WAN connectivity)
- 2 Hosts
- NetApp Storage (at remote site) asynchronous replicated to DR facilit
- 2 Hosts
- Cluster 3 (Remote Site 2 with WAN connectivity)
- 2 Hosts
- NetApp Storage (at remote site) asynchronous replicated to DR facility
- 2 Hosts
vCenter 2 (DR facility)
- Single vCenter
- Single SRM
- 5 Hosts
- NetApp Storage Array recieving replication from primary site and two instances of remote site storage.
- 5 Hosts
Points of discussion.
- Latency with hosts under vCenter issues - I am happy this is not an issue based on http://blogs.vmware.com/performance/2012/06/vcenter-50-performance-in-remote-offices-and-branch-offices-robo.html
- Latency with SRA -> Array communications with the remotes. (Any thoughts on this requirements?)
- Any other potential issues?
Any feedback appreciated?
