Hi @Rayes ,
SRM does not perform automatic failover. Planned migration/Disaster recovery is performed manually(by a user) depending upon scenarios, so there is no false positive failovers.
Hope that answers the question.
Hello ashlikkrishnan,
you mean if site fail you need to manually start your VMs in DR site ?
@Rayes , Yes that's right. If Site-A goes down, you need to login from Site-B and perform recovery of required plans.
@ashilkrishnan then What's the different between it & vSphere replication !!
Does VMware provide an automatic solution to protect VMs between sites.
@Rayes ,
SRM orchestrates and automates certain recovery tasks (Recover multiple VMs, storage mount, VM register, IP customization, custom power on scripts,etc.) for you when triggered. SRM works with two replication technologies: vSphere replication and storage based replication.
SRM itself does not replicate any objects. SRM can either be combined with vSphere replication or a storage array level replication for recovery tasks:
This should answer most of the questions:

I am not aware of any automatic failover solutions from VMware.
