Fully implemented VMware DR solution
Thursday 25th June, 2009 | 10:53 amThis is a pretty sight:

In 10 minutes I was able to promote a replicated LUN on our off-site DR SAN, rescan for volumes on our off-site DR ESX host, and then add the VM to the inventory and power it up. Given our replication scheduling and speeds, I should be able to bring online a fully-functional VM in a state no more than 2 hours behind what the production server was. I’ll take that
Finishing off the documentation for the infrastructure and can move on to other areas, such as migrating more of our physical servers in to the environment – I’ve already decommissioned 7, and currently running 17 production and 5 dev VM’s.
