Business Continuity Disaster Recovery of Centralized Mgmt Stack, including a Production vCSA with embedded PSC

  • Are there any concerns with replicating the Production vCSA with vSphere Replication 8.1.x?
  • Although, we’ve successfully tested manually changing the vCSA IP, does SRM 8.1.x have the ability to inject a different IP into this replicated vCSA at Recovery site?

Just to be clear, you can’t replicate/protect the vCenter that is connected to SRM & VR (nor would you want to).

If you are talking about having a VC/SRM server at each site and another VC/PSC that is contained within the one where SRM is installed, then yes, this can be protected like any other workload. I don’t believe that VC supports having its IP address changed by SRM. I suggest looking into supported ways to change the VC IP address. I believe that the VCSA runs Photon which I don't believe SRM supports IP customization for.
