Site Recovery Manager 6.x Install Guide
This post will walk through the installation of Site Recovery Manager (SRM) to protect virtual machines from site failure. SRM plugs into vCenter to protect virtual machines replicated to a failover site using array based replication or vSphere replication. In the event of a site outage, or outage of components within a site meaning production virtual machines can no longer run there; SRM brings online the replicated datastore and VMs in vSphere, with a whole bunch of automated customisation options such as assigning new IP addresses, boot orders, dependencies, running scripts, etc. After a failover SRM can reverse the replication direction and protect virtual machines ready to fail back, all from within the vSphere web client.
