SRM With SAS connections

[Buddhi01]

hi,

I am going to make a proposal for a DC & DR site with vcenter Site Recovery manager. We use IBM DS3524 (firmware version 7.84.44.00) storage with SAS connections to the hosts. vmware says SRM supports only with ISCSI and Fibre channel. So can i do the SRM replication with SAS connections. please update me asap guys.

thanks

No you will not be able to use SRM,  the fact that you ahve SAS connections means that you are using DAS (direct attached storage) rather than a shared storage.

That said, I am moving this post to the dedicated SRM section to enable it to be seen by the great and the good of the SRM community.

Thanks for the Reply. I couldn't tell you one thing.sorry for the inconvienience. I have two DAS storages at both locations. so my primary site has one DAS storage and Recovery site has another DAS storage.Still Am I unable to Use SRM ? Please update me.

See the attachment for more details.

Sorry same rules apply

You could potentially use SRM with vSphere Replication I would guess...

That is a thought,  and it could possibly fly.  another option would be to look at Zerto.
