To make it very clear - RecoverPoint for VMs 4.2 is not integrated wtih AppSync. Information provided by Jesus here is for RecoverPoint which is a storage array LUN-based data protection tool that is different from RecoverPoint for VMs, a hypervisor-based tool protecting VMware VMs. They are two different products of the RecoverPoint family. I hope that eliminates the confusion. Thanks.

Are RecoverPoint and RecoverPoint for VMs two different products? In other words, if one has a VMware as well as non-VMware environment, would that require two separate solutions or would one RP solution suffice?
Licensing - is it licensed based solely on VM counts or can it also be licensed based on number of ESXi/CPU sockets?
Thanks.

Hi Ernes,
Yes, two completely different products. RP for VMs is VMware specific (ESXi hypervisor splitter, vRPAs, per VM replication (as opposed to whole dtastore), storage agnostic with vSphere Web Client integrated management.
Licensing is based on tiers of VMs starting with the minimum of 15 VMs.

Two questions:
1. In local VM protection(CDP) configuration, i.e. one vRPA cluster configuration, Can it replicate VMs from one vCenter to another vCenter ? Or the Production copy and Replication copy must be in one vCenter ?
2. How Recoverpoint for VM protection a vCenter ？
Thanks.

I'm not a expert, but my experience from my lab:
1. No, Production and Replication Copy don't have to be in one vCenter. Works easily when having them in two different vCenters - with different RPAs on different Hosts on different Storage. But then it is definitely not local/CDP anymore: Since it is another vCenter, you're also replicating to another set of RPAs (->CRR) and Hosts.
2. Would like to hear a answer for that too! From my experience: yes, you can replicate it - it's just a VM like all others. But Recovery could be very "tricky" when using local/CDP within one vCenter - a Chicken & Egg Problem.

Thanks.
So CDP works within one vCenter, And it can not protect the vCenter VM and the vRPA's themselve, correct?

Hello,
is there any guide for RP4VM fpr VMware streched cluster setup?
Is it possible to da a remote replication in such a setup or only local replication?

Hello,
We can use KVSS with RP4VMs for application consistent bookmarks in Windows VM's. Is there a way to make application consistent bookmarks in Linux VM's ?

Hi Jos,
Application consistency can be achieved by calling on RP or RP4VM via CLI or REST to create an application consistent bookmark (bookark marked as application consistent), this coupled with putting the DB in hot backup mode, VSS freeze/thaw (either manual or via KVSS) would achieve application consistency.
