Just remove the hosts and make sure that your placeholder VMs aren't registered on the hosts you are removing. Move the VMs to other hosts if they are.

SRMFails to recover Datastore
Bonjour à tous,
Nous avons un soucis de test SRM.
Lors du test, nous avons une erreur disant que SRM ne trouve pas le datastore disant que le datastore n'est pas rattaché à l'hôte alors qu'il est bien rattaché à l'hôte ESX.

SRM 6.5.1 - Failed to authenticate with the guest operating system
Hi
i have two vcenter with VCSA (6.5) in HA in two site with external PSC. Each site has is own SSO domain with their PSC controllers.
I configured SRM 6.5.1 on each site and configured vsphere replication 6.5.1 on each site.
I perform a recovery plan based on single VM.
When i perform a Test Recovery Plan i receive a "Failed to authenticate with the guest operating system using the supplied credentials"
Vmware tools are updated.
Attached, SRM log of second site.
Can you help me please?
Thanks in advance
Filippo.

Re: The problem of mismatch between CG and Protection Group in SRM
To notify others, after a little research I realized the problem. The problem was precisely the case with a number of virtual machines that have multiple disks, and VMDKs were located in different datastores. In fact, a virtual machine with multiple disks where the disks were in a different datastores, so that each datastore was in a consistency group. after relocating VMDKs in the same datastores, the mismatch seen in the protection group wizard is solved!

Consideration in using SRM and RecoverPoint
We are using VMware SRM and EMC RecoverPoint SRA to recover virtual machines to DR site. In this process, we have created several consistency groups in the Recoverpoint that each one containing multiple LUNs. Similarly in SRM, we have created a few protection groups that are exactly the same as the CGs in Recoverpoint. I'm not sure if this is the best method for designing CG and Protection Groups or there are better considerations or strategy to design Protection Groups. I think a possible method of separation and design of the CG would be based on Application Tiering or other parameters.
Please share the best practice or any consideration to design CGs, Protection Group, and Recover Plan in DR solution by SRM and RecoverPoint?

Re: SRM with Platform Services Controller High Availability (PSC HA)
Hi gs_khalsa,
What will happen if I install SRM6.5 and pointing to PSC-HA-VIP platform service controller? Please let me know the impact because I have already installed vSphere 6.5U1 with PSC-HA-VIP and srm6.5 also.
Thanks & Regards,

Re: Cannot remove protection
Just a follow up question to this.. Is it possible to perform the deletion of Invalid (due to deletion) VMs inside of protection group using PowerCLI? Since we've moved to a CI/CD model the manual cleanup of deleted VMs is painful thru the GUI. I've worked with Ben Meadowcroft's SRM PowerCLI cmdlets but it doesn't seem to allow protection removal on deleted/invalid VMs.

Re: Cannot remove protection
Hi,
Here in my scenario, we face same kind of issue wherein VMs is decommissioned from the Vcenter but not from the SRM console.
Later we used to remove the protection from the SRM console for those VMs clears the error in SRM Console.
Just right click on those VMs under protection group and select remove/delete .

Re: SRM with Platform Services Controller High Availability (PSC HA)
As far as I know SRM isn't supported working with PSC behind a load-balancer. It may work as long as it is talking to the same PSC but if it switches to the other one it won't.

Re: SRM with Platform Services Controller High Availability (PSC HA)
As far as I know, GSS is mistaken. The first KB is talking about topologies for vSphere, not SRM. SRM is supported with VC HA not with PSC HA/LB.

SRM together with stretched storage
Hi
Please, could someone explain me SRM behaviour with stretched storage?
I have 2 site test sandbox with 2 vCetners (6.5 U2), SRM (8.1) servers and ESXi (6.5 U2) clusters
Also I have stretched datastore (storage EMC VMAX 250F + witness in use) between those two sites.
In normal situation SRM works perfectly. All my VM-s in stretched datastore are protected with SRM and I'm able to do planned migrations with those VM-s from one site to another.
But problem starts when I emulate R1 storage failure (disable network links between witness and R1 storage) .
Storage subsystem works correctly during this test, it puts R1 storage (where my protected VM-s are) into "read only" mode and R2 continues to in work read/write mode.
But at the same time SRM says that those VM-s protection is not configured anymore and I can't do orchestrated migration with SRM to another site.
It seems even logical, because VM-s are dynamically protected with Storage Policies and if VM parameters are not visible to vCenter anymore, SRM just unprotects it. But how it's possible i this case to use Storage Policies at all?
Please could someone confirm, is it normal SRM behaviour with stretched storage and Storage Policies or not?
BR,

You saved me Daniel! I had the same problem and your solution fixed it for me. Thank you!

Re: Failed to retrieve pairs from Site Recovery Manager Server
Does the pairing work if you are logged into web client as the SSO user or any user from the SSO domain?
If yes, you need to change the Identity Source from IWA to AD as LDAP due to the fact there is some socket timeout with IWA as identity source.
Not an issue from SRM, It's something from the identity source.

Re: Restore Previous Snapshot
When you test recovery, SRM hands over the createWriteableSnapshot request to the SRA which then processes this to take a snap of the replica LUN.
The snap would be a current copy of the LUN State and you would not have choice to select a replica copy to be mounted during a test recovery.

SRM plug-in 6.5 in vRO 7.4
I'm trying to configure SRM local sites. But I get the error : "URL of the local Platform Services Controller is not valid".
I have 2vCenter with 2 external PSC's and my 2 Vcenters are configured in vRO.
Do I have to code something extra in the workflow script (Configure Local Sites) : SrmUrls = SRMPluginConfig.getSrmUrls();
I have also tried it with SRMPluginConfig.registerLocalSites('<hostname PSC>',443,'https://<PSC>/lookupservice/sdk',<admin>,<passwd>) but than I get the error :
"There is syntax error in SRM configuration for PSC"
The vRO is embedded in the vRA 7.4
With Library > SRM > Configuration Workflow=Configure Local Sites , I get the error :

RP with SRM for VMware Cluster
The question is recover point for storage replication whether we can replicate specific datastore luns with SRM combinations using current recoverpoint rather than whole vmware clusters.
Example: 4 lun allocated in vmware cluster and i want to replicate 2 luns only not all 4 luns so that my VM in 2 luns can be recovered on 2 nd site not all vms in the cluster. Would that be possible?
I have seen the below two lines in the SRM Best practices document, that makes me confuse.
Placeholder datastores must meet certain criteria.
■ | For clusters, the placeholder datastores must be visible to all of the hosts in the cluster. |
■ | You cannot select replicated datastores as placeholder datastores. |

Re: RP with SRM for VMware Cluster
Hi,
Yes that is the option to make the LUN grouping for replication from storage end.
Ask them to create a replication group of only two LUNs coming to your Vcenter.
Later you need to create a protection group and plan accordingly.

Re: RP with SRM for VMware Cluster
Hi Jitu, Thanks for the Reply.
Just to clarify, do you mean to say, Create consistency group in Recoverpoint with two required LUN's instead of Four LUN's that has been assigned to VMware Cluster.
Then add the specific two LUN's which we have configured in Recoverpoint replication and the two VM's in the VMware SRM protection group.
Is that the above mentioned statement correct?
