Hello Everyone,
I'm looking for an expert advice here.
In our current environment, 600 plus VM's are getting replicated to DR site using third party replication tool. As we are planning to upgrade our entire environment to vSphere 5.1, we are considering to use vSphere replication. We are not planning to use SRM at this point.
We have two Vcenters, one for the Prod env and one for the DR env. We have our replication go over a dedicated OC/24 pipe.
We are not woried about the Automation and fail back at this point, hence SRM is not a choice at this point.
Questions.
1. With the limitation of 500 Replications (job) for VSphere Replication Appliance, ho do we meet our need for 600 Replications?
2. Can we use Multiple vSphere Replication Appliances at each site (Per vcenter) without using SRM?
3. Though it says 500 is the Max supported, how many workloads I can configure on an Applicance for a smooth operation.
4. Do I need to consider SRM in this stage? If so why?
Appreciate your help in this regard.
Thanks
Deepu
