Design of VxRail with SRM
In the previous chapter, you had an overview of the design of a VxRail stretched cluster, including network, hardware, and software requirements, and some failure scenarios. When you plan to design an active-active data center solution or site failure solution, a VxRail stretched cluster is a good option.
VxRail also supports disaster recovery (DR) and data replication solutions, including VMware Replication (VR), VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM), and Dell EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines (RP4VMs). Compared to a VxRail stretched cluster, VxRail VMware SRM is an active-passive solution. This chapter will discuss the integration of VxRail with VMware SRM and the best practices relating to this solution. In Chapter 9, Design of RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines on VxRail, we will discuss the design of Dell EMC RP4VMs.
This chapter covers the following main topics:
- Overview of VMware SRM
- Overview of VxRail with VMware SRM
- The design...
