Improving VMware Disaster Recovery with EMC RecoverPoint

Figure 8. VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager at a glance

The previous figure shows what the architecture looks like once SRM has been

installed and configured to support the VMware Infrastructure environment. For a

brief video chalk talk see

In order for SRM to make use of a replication technology, a storage replication

adapter must be written for that technology. An adapter was written by EMC and

certified and distributed by VMware that integrates EMC RecoverPoint with VMware

vCenter Site Recovery Manager. The EMC RecoverPoint adapter for VMware Site

Recovery Manager is a software package that allows VMware Site Recovery Manager

to implement disaster recovery using EMC RecoverPoint. The RecoverPoint adapter

supports SRM functions, such as failover and failover testing, using RecoverPoint as

the replication engine.

The RecoverPoint adapter supports discovery of arrays attached to RecoverPoint and

discovery of RecoverPoint consistency groups that can be managed by VMware

vCenter SRM, and supports SRM functions such as failover and failover testing, using

RecoverPoint as the replication engine.

Site Recovery Manager failover

VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager has rules to define which virtual machines

are important and how they should be started at the protection site in the event of a

disaster. SRM accomplishes this by defining the following two entities:

• Protection Groups are located at the protected site and define which virtual

machines to protect.

• Recovery Plans are located at the recovery site and define steps for recovering

virtual machines.
