Configuring VMware virtual machines for disaster recovery using IBM SVC Global Mirror replication
Ensure that the IBM SVC Global Mirror replicated LUNs are assigned to the respective VMware ESX Servers.
If any changes are made to the storage or storage-adapters available to the ESX or ESXi host or cluster, you must perform storage rescan, storage adapter rescan, or both depending on the changes made.
Using the Resiliency Platform console Infrastructure settings, you add the asset infrastructure for each data center (the production and recovery data centers). The following is a summary of the steps.
Add IBM SVC enclosures to the appropriate data centers using the option. Provide the IBM SVC server, username, and password.
Add the vCenter Servers to the appropriate data centers. The user needs to have vCenter administrator privileges. Ensure that the virtualization server and ESX server are discovered successfully.
