Failover scenarios of VxRail with VMware SRM
This solution is not only used for DR features; it can also be used for data migration. This section will discuss some failover scenarios of VxRail with SRM.
Failure scenario 1
Figure 8.10 shows two different environments: one is a vSphere cluster and the other is a VxRail cluster. Each site includes the following components:
- Site A: vCenter Server Appliance, SRM Server, vSphere Replication Server, vSphere Cluster with four nodes, and Storage.
- Site B: vCenter Server Appliance, SRM Server, vSphere Replication Server, and VxRail Cluster with four nodes.
- Replication configuration: The VMs are replicated to Site B from Site A with VR:
