1.3.Replicated Storage Support (iSCSI/FC/NFS)
Site Recovery Manager 4.0 expands storage support from iSCSI and Fiber Channel arrays to also include
replicated NFS arrays. Configuration of NFS arrays works the same way as the configurations of FC and iSCSI
storage arrays. You can use your replicated NFS datastores in conjunction with Site Recovery Manager 4.0
to provide disaster recovery protection for your virtual environment. Refer to
for a list of Site Recovery Manager compatible storage providers.
1.4. Planning for BC/DR when using Site Recovery Manager
Site planning and preparation at the protected site involves the following:
- site1-vm1 through site1-vm4 in this lab (See Figure 1).
- Site Recovery Manager servers and vCenter servers (See Figure 1).
the protected virtual machines, identify which datastores need to be configured for replication, otherwise
your storage team to ensure all the datastores that will host protected virtual machines are configured for
be used to complete the relocation of the protected virtual machines with zero service downtime.
If possible ensure there are only protected virtual machines on the datastores that are being replicated
from the protected site to the recovery site.
Site planning and preparation at the recovery site involves the following:
recovered virtual machines to utilize.

In case of NFS, SRM does not perform host rescan during recovery.
