I have a few questions about vSphere Replication.
Our current environment consists of 3 sets of VM servers under 1 vSphere Instance (our license is 6CPU Standard) and is setup like this:
Office:
1x E3-1230v2/32GB ram in our office
-connected to the datacenter via 10Mb connection IPSEC VPN to...
Datacenter:
2x 2x-X5650/72GB ram in our data center
-connected to DR via inter-dc link to...
DR Datacenter
1x E3-1230v2/32GB in our DR datacenter
There is enough ram in the DR machine to handle the VM's that need to be protected. I have the vCenter server, vSphere Replication Appliance on the Datacenter VM's. I have it currently replicating the servers to the DR but I don't think I have it set up right. Where should the replication appliance VM's reside? If the main DC goes down, how to I bring up the replicated ones? I also want to set up replication on one of the office VM's to the DC and the DR.
Unfortunately I don't have the capital to put in to bring a pro in for this, but I know [H] has some experts
