This section lists the pre-requisites to enable data replication using EMC RecoverPoint when the hosts are part of a Microsoft failover cluster. For EMC RecoverPoint-based replication, all virtual machines consuming storage from a consistency group must belong to the same resiliency group.
Prerequisites:
Ensure that you are using EMC RecoverPoint 4.1.
Discovery host should be able to communicate with Recoverpoint using SSH.
Once you have performed the necessary configurations, proceed with Resiliency Platform specific tasks.
Resiliency Platform configurations:
Add Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 host using 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.
Add EMC Symmetrix enclosure using the Add Enclosure option. Provide the discovery host name and the SYMCLI location on the discovery host. This operation returns the list of all Symmetrix arrays (local and remote) that are accessible to the host. To configure disaster recovery for the virtual machines, select only local arrays.
Perform add host and add enclosure operations for the IMS at the disaster recovery data center as well.
Limitations:
Continuous data protection (CDP) and concurrent local and remote (CLR) data protection are not supported.
Consistency group configured for more than 2 copies is not supported.
