• See Configuring application disaster recovery using EMC RecoverPoint without Microsoft Failover Clustering.

• Ensure that RecoverPoint consistency groups are set up on the control host for the replication between the primary and remote arrays.

• Ensure that EMC RecoverPoint groups are set up for the CRR replication between the primary and Secondary RecoverPoint Appliance.

• Ensure to enable the Failover Cluster roles on the Windows Server 2012R2 hosts at the production and recovery data centers.

• Ensure that you have created Microsoft failover cluster using the required nodes at the production and recovery data centers.

• Ensure that you have created the cluster shared volume (CSV) on the replicated shared disk on the application server at the production data center. On the application hosts configured at the recovery data center, re-scan the storage on all the Microsoft failover cluster nodes.

• Configure application on the production data center's Microsoft failover cluster with their data on the replicated CSVs.

• Add Windows 2012 R2 hosts to the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) using the Add Hosts operation.

• Add the array control host where the RecoverPoint consistency groups are configured, to the each IMS using the Add Hosts operation.

• Add Symmetrix, CLARiiON, or VNX enclosure using the Add Enclosure option. Provide the discovery host name and the SYMCLI, NaviSecCLI, or Navisphere CLI location on this discovery host. This operation returns the list of Symmetrix, CLARiiON, or VNX arrays (local and remote) that are accessible to the host. To configure disaster recovery for applications, select one or more local arrays.

  Note:

  Any physical or virtual machine can be designated as the array control host, including the virtual machine inside VMware ESX server.

• Add RecoverPoint appliance for replication using the Add RecoverPoint operation.

• Perform add host, add RecoverPoint appliance, and add enclosure operations for the IMS at the disaster recovery data center as well.

• Ensure that RecoverPoint consistency groups are setup on the control host for the replication between the primary and remote arrays.

  Note:

  The replicated and primary LUNs must be on different hosts from different data centers.

• Ensure that EMC RecoverPoint groups are set up for the CRR replication between the primary and Secondary RecoverPoint Appliance.

• Ensure that you have created the volumes on the primary Hyper-V host where the LUNs are read and write enabled. Veritas Resiliency Platform supports only one volume per replicated disk. Windows Storage Space Storage Pool is not supported.

• Ensure that you have configured application at the production data centre under the Hyper-V Manager and kept the data files on the replicated volumes.

• Ensure that the respective remote disks are in the offline state on the Hyper-V server at the recovery data center. And also verify that no drive letter is assigned to the volumes present on these offline disks.

• Add the host where the RecoverPoint consistency groups are configured, to the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) using the Add Hosts operation.

• Add Symmetrix, CLARiiON, or VNX enclosure using the Add Enclosure option. Provide the discovery host name and the SYMCLI, NaviSecCLI, or Navisphere CLI location on this discovery host. This operation returns the list of Symmetrix, CLARiiON, or VNX arrays (local and remote) that are accessible to the host. To configure disaster recovery for applications, select one or more local arrays.

  Note:

  Any physical or virtual machine can be designated as the array control host, including the virtual machine inside VMware ESX server.

• Add RecoverPoint appliance for replication using the Add RecoverPoint operation.

• Perform add host, add RecoverPoint appliance, and add enclosure operations for the IMS at the disaster recovery data center as well.

Limitations

• If the application hosts are inside the virtual machines, the replicated data disks must be mapped to these hosts in Raw mode only. Virtual disks are not supported.

• Logical grouping of disks, Windows Server Storage space storage pool, is not supported.
