Hi Guys..
I am about to deploy a setup of vsphere for DR site of local company..
Scnerio:
Primary Site
3 Esx hosts + 1 vCenter server and Dell Eqlogic array.
there are almost 20 VMs of the Hosts all up and running.
DR Site
I have replicated all the volumes of Dell Eqlogic storage containg VMDK and other volumes on DR site Eqlogic array.
Now i have installed and configured 2 esxi hosts and a vcenter server on DR site.
My question is in case of any disaster how can i bring up the VMs and whether or not the RDMs mapped to VMs will remain intact?
can i mount datastores on DR vcenter that have copies of primary storage volumes containing Vmdk files of VMs?
i only have license for vcenter server so i cant go with SRM..
Please advice what can be done to make this setup work..
Best Regards
