CX310 VMware SRM

Hi Guys,

I am looking at SRM and just wanted to double check the software required to allow test, and full failvoers for SRM.

As far as i am aware i would need:

  • Mirrorview/a or mirrorview/s
  • Snapview
  • EMC Solutions Enabler
  • SRA

Am i missing anything?

I know this is a depends question, but are there any guides on powerlink to guage the size of snapshots if snapview has to be implemented?

Thanks

DC

    Douglas,

    Your software list looks complete.  If you also want to automate the SRM failback (and not just the failover and testing), you'll need one additional piece of free software: MirrorView Insight for VMware -- but it's included in the SRA bundle that you'll download, so you should be all set with that, too.

    For a starting point on SnapView configuration, there's a white paper titled, "EMC CLARiiON SnapView Snapshots and Snap Sessions Knowledgebook, A Detailed Review".

    Hope this helps!

    Douglas,

    Great!  Once you've tried it out, be sure come back here and post about your experiences with MVIV.  I'm sure other folks would find it useful.
