This section describes the key pre-requisites for Rehearse operations in Hyper-V virtual machines.
Rehearse operations with EMC SRDF based replication:
Device group should be associated with the snapshot LUNs. Veritas Resiliency Platform, supports Timefinder Snap and Timefinder Mirror (BCV).
Rehearsal operations for resiliency groups that are replicated using EMC SRDF technology in Asynchronous mode cannot be performed using TimeFinder Snap technology (VDEV devices). You need to configure Timefinder Mirrors (BCV devices) to perform the rehearsal operations on such resiliency groups.
Veritas Resiliency Platform creates a point in time snapshots as part of the rehearsal operations. Since it cannot work with existing snapshots. The volumes present on snapshot device are mounted on the DR host.
When the rehearse operations is initiated, the DR virtual machines are cloned and disconnected from the network and the Veritas Resiliency Platform starts the virtual machines.
