HP Insight Recovery configuration overview

The following procedure is an overview of the HP Insight Recovery configuration process.

NOTE:

Before attempting to configure HP Insight Recovery, ensure that all DR Protected

Primary Site logical servers are deactivated and all Storage Replication Groups have been failed
over to the Recovery Site - this was done in

“ Recovery Site logical server setup” (page 15)

.

1.

From the Sites tab, configure the Primary Site.

2.

From the Storage Management Servers tab, configure storage management servers at the
Primary Site.

3.

From the Storage Replication Groups tab, configure Storage Replication Groups at the
Primary Site.

4.

From the Recovery Groups tab, configure Recovery Groups at the Primary Site.

5.

From the Sites tab, create export file at the Primary Site.

6.

From the Sites tab at the Recovery Site, import the Primary Site HP Insight Recovery
configuration at the Recovery Site.

7.

Test the recovery logical servers. The Recovery Groups are in maintenance mode, allowing
activation of the recovery logical servers — for more information see

“Testing Recovery

Groups” (page 17)

8.

Deactivate the recovery logical servers and disable Maintenance mode at the Recovery Site
— for more information see

“Testing Recovery Groups” (page 17)

9.

Fail back the Storage Replication Groups to the Primary Site, then activate the Primary Site

Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console to rescan and refresh virtual machine resources.
