RP with SRM for VMware Cluster

The question is recover point for storage replication whether we can replicate specific datastore luns with SRM combinations using current recoverpoint rather than whole vmware clusters.

Example: 4 lun allocated in vmware cluster and i want to replicate 2 luns only not all 4 luns so that my VM in 2 luns can be recovered on 2 nd site not all vms in the cluster. Would that be possible?

I have seen the below two lines in the SRM Best practices document, that makes me confuse.

Placeholder datastores must meet certain criteria.

For clusters, the placeholder datastores must be visible to all of the hosts in the cluster.

You cannot select replicated datastores as placeholder datastores.

Hi,

Yes that is the option to make the LUN grouping for replication from storage end.

Ask them to create a replication group of only two LUNs coming to your Vcenter.

Later you need to create a protection group and plan accordingly.

Hi Jitu, Thanks for the Reply.

Just to clarify, do you mean to say, Create consistency group in Recoverpoint with two required LUN's instead of Four LUN's that has been assigned to VMware Cluster.

Then add the specific two LUN's which we have configured in Recoverpoint replication and the two VM's in the VMware SRM protection group.

Is that the above mentioned statement correct?
