This hands-on training course is aimed at experienced VMware Infrastructure 3 administrators. In this course, you will learn to install, configure, and operate VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) and to test disaster recovery plans with SRM.

Prerequisite Skills Self-Assessment

To gain the most from this course, you should possess the ability to:

• Create multiple virtual switches and configure port groups in VMware vCenter that can support the service console, VMware vMotion, iSCSI, VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), VMware High Availability, and virtual machine production networking operations
• Install vCenter and add VMware ESX server to its inventory
• Reorganize your storage, moving virtual machine files from one LUN to another, either while the virtual machine is powered on or off, to facilitate a disaster recovery failover
• Configure access to iSCSI storage on your ESX server
• Create a VMFS datastore on shared storage
• Migrate a virtual machine using vMotion
• Apply migration recommendations in a DRS cluster
• Send an SNMP notification when a virtual machine-based alarm is triggered
• Configure VMware HA to successfully fail over virtual machines during a host failure

And you should have:

• Basic knowledge of SAN management activities, such as replication, replicated LUN discovery, or replicated LUN synchronization by separating synchronized LUNs or additional mirrored LUNs or snapshots during a test or an actual failover

Highlights

• Create a disaster recovery workflow for your virtual machines using SRM
• Install SRM components
• Configure SRM storage replication adapters
• Configure SRM protected and recovery sites
• Configure SRM array managers
• Define SRM inventory mappings
• Create SRM recovery plans
• Test SRM recovery plans
