Using DR-Ip-reporter

[Michelle_Laveri]

I'm trying to get to grips with this dr-ip-reporter tool as outlined in the Admin guide...

Unfortunately, the admin guide talks about a directory that doesnt appear to exist - DR in "C:/Program Files/VMware/DR/ and file that doesn't exist either - dr-primary.xml

I assume its someother file name and path?

What would that be?

Regards

Looks like an error in the admin guide. Try this path:

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Site Recovery Manager

and this config file:

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Site Recovery Manager\config\ vmware-dr.xml

[srmdocs]

This will be corrected as follows in the next edition of the admin guide:

To generate a report containing mappings for all recovery plans, change directory to C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Site Recovery Manager\bin and run the following command:

*

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Site Recovery Manager\bin>dr-ip-reporter.exe -cfg ..\config\vmware-dr.xml -out c:\tmp\report.xml

*

Cool - I did try this path - figured the dir/filename was bad...

Not tried with it with this --out command. Will give that a try later this week... I've got some VMs set up with some IP mappings to test them against.

Tried this sample. But it seems to think -out c:\report.xml is the recovery plan, rather than an output...

Recovery MoRef: recovery-profile-755

Recovery Plan: recovery-profile-755 has name 'Complete Loss of Site Plan ΓÇô Simple Test'

Unable to find the recoveryplan called 'c:\test.xml'

DR Connection: Logged out

DR Connection: Logged out

I've tried the other samples in the admin guide. But they don't seem to work either.

Mike, try running the program again without supplying anything on the command-line such as the config file. That should print the usage out to you. I don't think it mentions anything about a "-out" so that may be something in a new version that Richard Curtis is referring to.

Now with that usage, try using the corrected paths that GRedner gave you and put them where they are asked for. For example if it says <config file> put the path to the config file instead of <config file>. Hopefully that will work! If it doesn't, make sure to copy paste the usage and then copy paste the command that you tried to run.

Good luck!!
