Error Failed To Sync Data On Replica Device
Contents |
following error: I performed a quick google to try to find a solution to the error message but there wasn't anything listed, the only suggested solution I could find was to uninstall VMware SRM, reinstall it using a vmware srm failed to sync data on replica devices new database… this was not a solution with a looming Disaster Recovery Test and therefore I

thought that I would try to correct the issue myself. The configuration I have utilises IBM XIVs with Storage Array replication although I believe that the same steps should still work for other arrays. Remove all disks from the consistency group experiencing this error Deactivate the mirror on the consistency group and then delete the mirror pair Delete the consistency group on both the source array and the destination array Create a new consistency group on both the source and destination arrays Create a new mirror pair for the consistency group that has just been created Activate the new mirror pair and make sure that they are synchronised Add the required LUNs to the newly created consistency group Rescan the SRAs in the SRM client several times to update the connections, this may not update correctly the first time Check that all of the LUNs in the consistency group have an arrow against them indicating the replication direction on both the source and destination arrays within SRM Go to your recovery plan and perform a test recovery Share this:Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Site Recovery Manager Consistency Group, error: failed to sync, IBM, Replication, SRM, Test Recovery, XIV Post navigation Update Manager - Upgrade File Upload Fails PowerCLI Script to Change IOPS Setting for XIV Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.

causes data loss February 10, 2015 by Eiad Al-Aqqad Leave a Comment It seems there is a lot of confusion out there on how vCenter Site Recovery manager work with vSphere Replication when used for a data center migration, thanks in big part to competing products FUDs. Many admins still believe that using vSphere Replication with vCenter Site Recovery Manager for data center migration you will still lose up to 15 minutes of Data. This confusion has evolved due to the following two http://virtualworlduk.co.uk/vmware-srm-failed-to-sync-data-on-replica-devices/ limitations of vSphere Replication: Lowest RPO possible using vSphere replication is 15 minutes You cannot replicate powered-off virtual machines. Replication begins when the virtual machine is powered on. You cannot use vSphere Replication to replicate virtual machines templates. <== This statement right of the vSphere documentation. Here is how the confusion came to life. If you http://www.virtualizationteam.com/tag/srm have experienced or read about vCenter Site Recover Manager with storage replication and looked at the sequence of events when doing a data center migration, you will notice it will do a final sync of the data between the two sites right before it cut the replication between the the two sites. If you try to compare the same method with what is happening in vSphere replication and knowing the above two limitations, you will think that when the Data Center Migration is initiated in SRM, it will shutdown the VM and at that time the VM replication was lagging with up to 15 minutes behind based on the provided RPO and as vSphere replication can not replicate after the VM is turned off, the VM will be losing up to 15 minutes of data when coming on the other site, but that is not true as its missing a very minor but important detail that many people seems to over look.… Read MoreFiled Under: BC-DR, Server Virtualiz

View Search Part 5 – Configuring Site Recovery Manager (SRM) With HP StoreVirtualVSA Posted on 5 November 201214 December 2012 by Craig This is the final post on my blog series Configuring Site Recovery Manager (SRM) with HP StoreVirtual VSA. If you have missed any of the previous posts, they are available here: Part 1 – Configuring Site Recovery Manager (SRM) With HP StoreVirtual VSA Part 2 – Configuring Site Recovery Manager (SRM) With HP StoreVirtual VSA Part 3 – Configuring Site Recovery Manager (SRM) With HP StoreVirtual VSA Part 4 – Configuring Site Recovery Manager (SRM) With HP StoreVirtual VSA As promised we are going to failover, reprotect and failback. Is it slightly wrong, that I'm excited about this blog post? Pre Failover As we are good boy/girl scouts, we wouldn't just jump straight in and try and failover would we? No, never instead we are going to check everything is ‘tickety boo' with our environment. This means going over the following checklist: Check CMC to ensure no degraded volumes Check CMC to ensure that remote copy is working correctly Check vCenter to ensure that you have connectivity between sites Check SRM Array Managers and refersh your Devices Check Protection Groups Check Recovery Plan Once you have gone over the above list, the last thing to do is test and clean up. Look's like we are cooking on gas. Failover We have two types of failover, planned and unplanned. Planned Failover is when you know of impending works which will make your Production site non operable for a period of time, this could be planned maintenance work or site relocation. Imagine you are building a new Head Office, you configure all of your network, storage and vSphere infrastructure and then just use SRM to failover over a weekend.
