Quantum Forum for DXi V5000
vmpro setup for DR
We currently use VmPro along with DXi which syncs offsite to another DXi. What would best practice be to recover VM's in a disaster recovery situation since we have access to the raw data vmpro backups with the remote DXi?
Thanks

I like to use the DXi Directory and File based replication over NFS - that way at the DR site I have an NFS share that is always visible and has the latest VM backup data in it. I could deploy a vmPRO from the template during DR, or I could attach some of my ESX hosts to the DXi to use the VM images directly.
It depends on your preferences though, you can also use Namespace/scheduled replication on the DXi for DR but there will be a manual step to first recover the share on the DR side DXi.
In my case here I have my ESX hosts mounting the DXi both the local and remote data centers so hosts can always see which backups are available at either site:
