Site Recovery Manager UI IP changed

December 28, 2019, 10:28 am

Hi,

 

I have SRM configuration deployed in environment. All version 8.2 and vCenter with version 6.7. Protected site and recovery site vCenters are in linked mode.

 

Setup is like below:

 

Protected Site: Site1 with SRM appliance SRM1 and VR appliance VR1

Recovery Site: Site2 with SRM appliance SRM2 and VR appliance VR2

 

Issue is when I go to Site Recovery option on vCenter, I see two options for Open Site Recovery one for protected and other for recovery, and when I clink them I can only open protected site SRM UI and recovery site SRM UI fails.

 

Protected site SRM UI link is as SRM1.fqdn/dr

 

But as I checked, recovery site SRM UI is changed to VRM2.fqdn/dr, so when I clink on open site recovery from vcenter is fails to load as it re-directs me to SRM2.fqdn/dr

 

As of now, all is working fine now, both sites connectes, pairing is ok, VR is working and also recovery is working. But the management UI link is changed to VR appliance instead of SRM appliance.

 

Any suggestions here?

Re: SRM Install failure - SRMhost/vCenter time skew issue

I know this is an old article but someone may come across this.

 

Recently came across this issue.

 

I am using appliances for vCenter and SRM.

 

I had a time skew issue as well.  It took me a while and I had NTP running on the appliances and they were 26 seconds off.

 

I'd add seconds to the CLI (date -s “26 seconds”) of the vCenter only for it to slowly go back to time being out of sync.

 

I realized I had the virtual appliance syncing it's time to the hosts through vmtools as well as using NTP.

 

So anything happening on the NTP side within the appliance was negated by vmtools.

 

I disabled vmtools from syncing time to the hosts and to use NTP that worked and I was able to connect SRM to the vCenter.

 

I then fixed the NTP issue on the hosts as well.

Re: SRM & vSphere Replication 8.2 Appliance VAMI - How to change the HTTPS Certificate

Thank you again Daniel,

 

That has worked. I can now deploy both SRM and vSphere Replication appliances with certificates that are signed by my Enterprise CA.

 

I can also import the Root CA and both VMCA subordinate CA certificates into each appliance, so there are no more trust warning messages when pairing sites/etc.

 

I really appreciate your help.

FYI- The connections to the Datastore migrate with host to the new vCenter datacenter cluster.

In-Progress snapshot from last month...

Hi,

 

Cant seem to find any documentation on this so i thought id post the question here.

 

Only just noticed, one of the scheduled snapshots has been In-Progress for the last month. I've tried to delete it but without success. What's the safest way to stop and delete this. i know the root cause of the issue, which i have fixed but need to safely remove/delete this.

running SRM version 6.5.1

there are several other volumes being snapshot'd every couple of hours.

 

Is it a simple case of ensuring no other snapshot is in-progress, restarting the SRM service on the SRM Server? and if that fails, any other suggestions?

 

thank you

Hi Morzon,

Do you see an active task running on vCenter task and events. Stating snapshot is in progress ?

Hey rshenoy, thank you for looking at this, I think this is more of a problem with the Storage then it is SRM. I've logged it with the storage support team as we recently did some firmware update....

 

Nothing running in SRM to indicate a fault with it.

At our Datacenter we are currently running ESXi 6 which we have used SRM 8.1 but we want to upgrade ESXi to 6.7

1-Please tell me is this necessary for SRM to have same ESXi on two sides (Protected Site ,Recover Site) ?

2-What should be the same version (without ESXi) on both sides ?

Please tell me your references ..

thanks

Hi you can log thru SSH to the ESxi host i which the VM is residing.

 

then run the below command :

#vim-cmd vimsvc\task_list

 

this will show all the process running on the host,

please locate the snapshot process in this list

once you have the copy from "ha ...processid"

 

then run.

#vim-cmd vimsvc\task_info "ha ...processid"

 

here you will see "progress" - this will show if the process is running or not

 

if you do not see any process the snapshot is gone zombie - so you can kill it with the below command.

 

#vim-cmd vimsvc\task_cancel "ha ...processid"

 

later run

/etc/init.d/hostd restart

/etc/init.d/vpxa restart

As above, there is a specific order to follow when upgrading any SRM protected environment. See Order of Upgrading vSphere and Site Recovery Manager Components

 

e.g.

 

Upgrading Site Recovery Manager by Sites

Upgrade the protected site first, so you can perform a disaster recovery on the recovery site if you encounter problems during the upgrade that render the protected site unusable.

  1. If you use vSphere Replication, upgrade any additional vSphere Replication servers on the protected site.
  2. Upgrade the vSphere Replication appliance on the protected site.
  3. Upgrade Site Recovery Manager Server on the protected site.
  4. If you use array-based replication, upgrade the storage replication adapters (SRA) on the protected site.
  5. (Optional) Upgrade the Platform Services Controller and all components of vCenter Server on the protected site.
  6. (Optional) Upgrade the ESXi host on the protected site.
  7. If you use vSphere Replication, upgrade any additional vSphere Replication servers on the recovery site.
  8. Upgrade the vSphere Replication appliance on the recovery site.
  9. Upgrade Site Recovery Manager Server on the recovery site.
  10. If you use array-based replication, upgrade the storage replication adapters (SRA) on the recovery site.
  11. (Optional) Upgrade the Platform Services Controller and all components of vCenter Server on the recovery site.
  12. (Optional) Upgrade the ESXi hosts on the recovery site.
  13. Verify the connection between the Site Recovery Manager sites.
  14. Verify that your protection groups and recovery plans are still valid.
  15. (Optional) Upgrade the virtual hardware and VMware Tools on the virtual machines on the ESXi hosts.

Thank you for your answer , T180985

But in this context,does optional mean that if we upgrade esxi to one site, there is no need to upgrade to the second? Even with a different hardware version?

Thank you for your response , Rajhere

But I mean if we upgrade esxi on one side do we need to upgrade on the other? (Regardless of srm and vsphere replication server or appliance )

Your link shows the conditions for upgrading srm from one version to another

Hi Rajhere

 

Ref: " you must have same ESXi host version on both Primary and Seconday site. " - Is there a VMware docs reference for this is as a SRM requirement?

 

I appreciate why there needs to be VM compatibility between both sites, but this can be achieved by setting the Default Compatibility for Virtual Machine Creation to the same setting at either the Datacenter, Cluster or even Host level, for both sites?

 

Having hosts in different clusters on different ESXi versions is acceptable outside of SRM (sometimes you have no option but to have a later ESXi version on newer hardware), so surely as long as there is VM hardware compatibility, for those VMs you plan to protect with SRM, between the clusters; does a difference in ESXi versions in each cluster matter?

 

Cheers

From what ive seen the pre-requisite is that the vCenter version has to match between sites but you can run different levels of ESXi. Just bare in mind you may run into hardware version issues if they missmatch significantly

SRM Replication - VM with two addresses on the same Interface.

January 22, 2020, 12:11 pm

I have a scenario to replicate a single VM with vSphere 6 and SRM 6.1.

This VM has two addreses on the same interface. 192.168.10.11 and 192.168.10.12 for example.

When I try to create a recovery plan I couldn´t find how to customise these addresses to 192.168.20.11 and 192.168.20.12 for example.

 

The limit is one addres per interface ?

Does anyone knows how to cutomise two addresses on recovery plan ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi

 

Generally, IP customization supports 1 IP per virtual NIC within the VM.

You can try work-around by custom GuestOS scripting - more info in VMware Knowledge Base

 

Hope this helps

Ivan

Dears,

 

As you have seen from the title, we have a VNX 5200 storage and i'm trying to find the compatibility with SRM to deploy iy at our DC.

However, I see there are multiple types in the page below and i'm confused a bit if you can help me out.

 

VMware Compatibility Guide - sra

 

Our VNX 5200 is unified (Block and File).

Thanks.
