Figure 29. SRM recovery plan
During this test, you would see the following events occur:
1. Production VMs are still up and running
2. CLARiiON SnapView sessions are created and activated against the snapshots created above
3. All resources created within the SRM Protection Group carry over to the recovery site
4. VMs power on in the order defined within the recovery plan
Once all the VMs are powered on according to the recovery plan, SRM will wait for the user to verify that
the test works correctly. You verify this by opening a console for the VM started at the recovery site and
checking the data. After checking your data, click the Continue button, and the environment will revert
back to its original production state. For more information concerning SRM recovery plans and Protection
Groups, please see the VMware SRM Administration Guide.
Executing an SRM recovery plan
Executing an SRM recovery plan is similar to testing the environment with the following differences:
• Execution of the SRM recovery plan is a one-time activity, while running an SRM Test can be done
multiple times without user intervention.
• SnapView snapshots are not involved during an executed SRM recovery plan.
• The MirrorView secondary copies are promoted as the new primary LUNs to be used for production
operation.
• After executing a recovery plan manual steps are needed to resume operation at the original production
site.
