HP Insight Recovery 6.3 User Guide

NOTE: You cannot change the datastore of a VM hosted logical server while it is being managed
by Insight Recovery. To change the datastore, first remove the VM hosted logical server from the
HP Insight Recovery configuration, then use the Logical Servers Activate operation in the Tools menu
of the Visualization tab to change the datastore. After the datastore has been changed, Follow the
steps in “Storage setup” (page 10), “Networking setup” (page 9), and “ Recovery Site logical
server setup” (page 12) to re-add the logical server to the HP Insight Recovery configuration.
Recovery Site logical server setup
1. Deactivate and gracefully shutdown the logical servers in the Recovery Groups at the Primary
Site, using Virtualization Manager.
2. Using the appropriate storage management tools, for example, HP StorageWorks Command
View EVA, failover the storage associated with the Recovery Groups to the Recovery Site.
3. If there are VM hosted logical servers in the Recovery Groups:
a. Rescan storage using VM host management tools, for example, VMware Virtual Center
or Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console, to ensure that the VM host recognizes the
failed over storage.
NOTE: The replicated disk on the Recovery Site Hyper-V host must be configured with
the same drive letter that is assigned to the Primary Site disk it is replicated from.
In the case of a cluster shared volume, the replicated disk on the Recovery Site Hyper-V
host must be configured with the same volume path that is assigned to the Primary Site
disk it is replicated from.
In the case of a cluster shared volume or shared cluster disks, the replicated disk on the
Recovery Site Hyper-V host must be configured with the same cluster resource name that
is assigned to the Primary Site disk it is replicated from.
b. Refresh Virtual Machine resources using the Logical Servers Refresh operation in the Tools
menu of the Visualization tab in the Virtualization Manager.
4. Create recovery logical servers using Virtualization Manager. Specify the replicated LUNs
information as part of logical server creation.
