Configuring Hyper-V virtual machines for disaster recovery using EMC RecoverPoint

EMC RecoverPoint with Microsoft Failover Clustering

This section lists the pre-requisites and limitations to enable data replication using EMC RecoverPoint when the hosts are part of a Microsoft failover cluster.

Prerequisites:

Ensure that the Infrastructure Managment Server (IMS) is able to communicate with RecoverPoint appliance using SSH.
Ensure that EMC RecoverPoint Appliance user has admin role to perform EMC RecoverPoint operations.
All virtual machines consuming storage from a Veritas Replication Set must belong to the same resiliency group.

Once you have performed the necessary configurations, proceed with Resiliency Platform specific tasks.

Resiliency Platform configurations:

Add Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 host using Add Hosts option under Infrastructure Management Server (IMS).
Add the array control host where the RecoverPoint device groups are configured, to the each IMS using the Add Hosts operation.
Perform add host and add enclosure operations for the IMS at the disaster recovery data center as well.
Add EMC RecoverPoint appliance.
See Adding RecoverPoint appliance for replication.

Limitations:

Continuous data protection (CDP) and concurrent local and remote (CLR) data protection are not supported.
Veritas Replication Set configured for more than 2 copies is not supported.
