VMworld Europe 2014: A Blueprint for Disaster Recovery of Business Critical Applications (SAP, Oracle, SQL & Exchange)

VMworld

This presentation discussed disaster recovery solutions for business critical applications using VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM). SRM supports various replication technologies including vSphere Replication, array-based replication, and application-consistent replication options like Oracle Data Guard. SRM automates the failover and failback of virtual machines in protection groups between sites using recovery plans. A demo showed configuring an SAP environment for disaster recovery with SRM and vSphere Replication, including performing a test failover recovery. Another section demonstrated using SRM for a planned migration of VMs from an on-premises data center to a cloud provider.

Relevant SRM Terminology
Protection Group A protection group: – Is a group of virtual machines that fail over together to the recovery site – Contains virtual machines whose data has been replicated by array-based replication or by VR – Typically contains virtual machines that are related in some way: • A three-tier application (application server, database server, Web server) • Virtual machines whose virtual machine disk files are part of the same datastore group LUN LUN protected site recovery site replicated storage
VR Protection Groups Storage can be any of the following: – Direct attached – NFS – iSCSI – Fibre Channel LUN 1 protection group 1 protection group 3 .vmdk files in separate datastores protection group 4 LUN 4 LUN 5 VMFS E VMFS A LUN 2 LUN 3 VMFS D VMFS B VMFS C protection group 2
recovery plan (entire site) recovery plan 2 (SAP PG) recovery plan 3 (SQL PG) recovery plan 1 (Infrastructure PG) Exchange SQL SAP Infrastructure recovery plan 4 (Exchange PG) Recovery Plan • Protection groups are the building blocks of recovery plans. – Protection groups can be included in multiple recovery plans. recovery plan 5 (Oracle PG) Oracle recovery plan 6 (All)
