Configuring applications for disaster recovery using EMC RecoverPoint replication

Configuring application disaster recovery using EMC RecoverPoint without Microsoft Failover Clustering

This section lists the pre-requisites to enable data replication using EMC RecoverPoint when the hosts are not a part of a Microsoft failover cluster.

  • Ensure that RecoverPoint consistency groups are setup on the control host for the replication between the primary and remote arrays.

    Note:

    The replicated and primary LUNs must be on different hosts from different data centers.

  • Ensure that EMC RecoverPoint groups are set up for the CRR replication between the primary and Secondary RecoverPoint Appliance.

  • Ensure that you have created the volumes on the primary Hyper-V host where the LUNs are read and write enabled. Veritas Resiliency Platform supports only one volume per replicated disk. Windows Storage Space Storage Pool is not supported.

  • Ensure that you have configured application at the production data centre under the Hyper-V Manager and kept the data files on the replicated volumes.

  • Ensure that the respective remote disks are in the offline state on the Hyper-V server at the recovery data center. And also verify that no drive letter is assigned to the volumes present on these offline disks.

Once you have performed the necessary configurations, proceed with disaster recovery specific tasks.

Veritas Resiliency Platform configurations:

  • Add the host where the RecoverPoint consistency groups are configured, to the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) using the + Add application host operation.

  • Add Symmetrix, CLARiiON, or VNX enclosure using the + EMC Enclosure option. Provide the discovery host name and the SYMCLI, NaviSecCLI, or Navisphere CLI location on this discovery host. This operation returns the list of Symmetrix, CLARiiON, or VNX arrays (local and remote) that are accessible to the host. To configure disaster recovery for applications, select one or more local arrays.

    Note:

    Any physical or virtual machine can be designated as the array control host, including the virtual machine inside VMware ESX server.

  • Add RecoverPoint appliance for replication using the + RecoverPoint operation.

  • Perform add host, add RecoverPoint appliance, and add enclosure operations for the IMS at the disaster recovery data center as well.

Limitations

  • If the application hosts are inside the virtual machines, the replicated data disks must be mapped to these hosts in Raw mode only. Virtual disks are not supported.

  • Logical grouping of disks, Windows Server Storage space storage pool, is not supported.
