Lets Get Physical ;)

[Virtugirl]

Hi All.....

Im going to be implementing an SRM solution but I also have physicals at my primary site.  Was just wondering what do you people out there do with these.  I want to make the whole Recovery site virtual, so I could P2V the physicals but then there is the question of keeping them updated.  Does this have to be manual or is there some magical process / software that would allow changes in the physical to be replicated to the virtual instance... eg patches, code changes etc.

Cheers

i am not sure SRM has this feature.

But you can schedule the P2V. It was easy with VMware converter plugin, you can shedule P2V.

Thanks Yezdi.   Thats helpful knowing that I can schedule a P2V... I assume this can be done whilst server is online in the primary site ?

Wondering if there is anything more elegant eg blick level changes rather than the whole server each time.
