SRM IP Customization
Does anyone have some examples of using the IP Customization in SRM 8.1? Looking for help with the syntax of VmIpCustomization of the SetRecoverySettings. Previous used Ben Meadowcraft cmdlets but getting an error so wanted to use the IP Customization in the SRM API.

Is there a way to force delete a protection group or site pair?

Failed install Site Recovery Manager
Hello guys,
How are you?
I´m with the problem in installation SRM for version 6 or 8 on my server Windows 2016 Standard edition.
I´m received the error:
"Failed to validate Platform Services Controller.
Details:
Connection to "my host" is refused. Perhaps it is not running."
Can you help me, please?

Re: Site Recovery error message
What build of vCenter ?
Site recovery manager configuration for 2 vcenters on Site A and just one on Site B
HI need to configure SRM for two sites
on Site A I have two separate Clusters
On Site B I have just one
I already know that I have to have an external Platform Service Controller on SItes
, according to the scenario from the article below this require 2 VMware clusters with Site recovery manager for each cluster,
My question if is possible to configure this with just one SRM vcenter on Site B
so, in this case, both SRm's from Site A would be paired with this same SRM on site B( with vCenter embedded PSC)
Re: Site recovery manager configuration for 2 vcenters on Site A and just one on Site B
Hi,
I my opinion it is obligatory to use second vCenter.
Check this out:
https://blogs.vmware.com/virtualblocks/2016/07/28/srm-multisite/
There is provided a good description for few use cases.
Maybe something has changed in version 8.x but I don't think so.
SRM Protection group
I have a requirement of creating protection group which includes 30 datastores and 450 vms.
Any suggestions ? I haven't come across such huge protection group. How does this work as expected in real world ?
SRM version : 8.1
Re: SRM Protection group
Check if the following VMware article helps:
Planned migration of vCenter and SRM VMs.
Hello, could you help with a case that I have
I wonder if it's possible to protect a vCenter and SRM VMs using SRM?
We have Two vCenter Servers, one on each site, they both have their own PSC however vCenter 2 is connected to PSC of vCenter 1, that means if vCenter 1 will be down, vCenter 2 will still work albeit somewhat limited with just it's own connected hosts. Each Site has it's own SRM Instance installed as a Windows VM (SRM 8.1.2) with VNX + MirrorView SRAs.
Is it possible to do a planned migration of a array-based replication Protection Group which contains vCenter and SRM VMs (vCenter 1 site) to the other site? Is that even doable? Or should I turn off those VMs on Site 1 and do a Disaster Recovery option (or even Forced Recovery)? It's just for test purposes, our clients wants to make sure everything is up and running correctly.
Re: Planned migration of vCenter and SRM VMs.
Do you consider using vCenter HA instead of SRM?
I've tried to find such information but I am not sure that it is supported configuration (vCenter+SRM).
Re: Planned migration of vCenter and SRM VMs.
It's not a thing that we can do.
We hope to use SRM to migrate all the machines + vcenter and srm instances to second site, in case of a disaster happening.
EDIT: What would happen if SRM at Site 1 would turn off, is it possible to migrate machines from Site 1 to Site 2 just with Site 2 SRM instance? Would it be possible to migrate SRM and vCenter virtual machines to Site 2 then?
Re: SRM Recovery error : - A specified test network is not connected to host
Re: Planned migration of vCenter and SRM VMs.
SRM works for Disaster Recovery so you don't need to have available vCenter or SRM on protected site to run Recovery Plan.
