Q #1 Where does Site Recovery replicate data to?
Site Recovery replicates
on-premises VMware VMs and physical servers to managed disks in Azure.
·
The
Site Recovery process server writes replication logs to a cache storage account
in the target region.
·
These
logs are used to create recovery points on Azure-managed disks that have prefix
of asrseeddisk.
Q #2 Can I change the vault in which the configuration server is registered?
No. After a vault is
associated with the configuration server, it can't be changed. But you can
de-register first and follow the registration steps like a new config server
registration. During this process all protected virtual machines under the
config server is stopped.
Q #3 Can I keep the IP address on fail-over?
Yes, you can keep the
IP address on failover. Ensure that you specify the target IP address in
the Compute and Network settings for the
VM before failover
Q #4 How far back can I recover?
For VMware to Azure,
the oldest recovery point you can use is 72 hours.
No its not, you can start fail-over from portal or via PS.
Q #6 How do you check if process server is actually pushing data ?
On process server >> under task manager >>
performance tab >> resource monitor >> Network tab >> Process
and network Activity
Check cbengine.exe is actively sending a large volume
of data.
Q #7 Can I change the target VM size or VM type before fail-over?
Yes, you can change
the type or size of the VM at any time before failover. In the portal, use
the Compute and Network settings for the replicated VM.
Q #8 How to refresh config server from Azure portal
Navigate to the recovery vault >> under Manage >> Site recovery infrastructure >> Click configuration server under VMware & physical machines >> select the configuration server and select the option refresh config server.
Q #9 How to check the Process server connection to Azure blob storage
On process server >> under task manager >>
performance tab >> resource monitor >> Overview >> select
cbengine.exe >>
Under TCP connections, check whether there is connectivity
from the process server to Azure storage.
Q #10 If there Is no connectivity from the process server to Azure , what all services we need to check ?
1. Verify that the following services
are running:
o cxprocessserver
o InMage Scout VX Agent –
Sentinel/Outpost
o Microsoft Azure Recovery Services
Agent
o Microsoft Azure Site Recovery
Service
o tmansvc
2. Start or restart any service that
isn't running.
3. Verify that the process server is
connected and reachable
Q #11 How to add cred in ovf template machine if you forgot to add cred
you can add credential from the configuration server , log in to the config server and launch CSPSConfigtool.exe, click add
Q #12 How to generate the passphrase
- Sign in to your configuration server, and then open a command prompt window as an administrator.
- To change the directory to the bin folder, execute the command cd %ProgramData%\ASR\home\svsystems\bin
- To generate the passphrase file, execute genpassphrase.exe -v > MobSvc.passphrase.
- Your passphrase will be stored in the file located at %ProgramData%\ASR\home\svsystems\bin\MobSvc.passphrase.
Good one,keep rocking
