I have issue with test SRM while it goes all ok but when come to power VM in

normal mode does not power VM , the rest of them is OK.

we have run recovery twice the SRM it went ok but I don’t know why is

this in test does not run VM.

someone sad that it may be the isolated network but I know that it

create bubbled network automatically.

the system is designed that has 14 ESX servers IBM blade boot from EMC

clarion and the recovery site the same.

1) Does the virtual machine show as being protected when looking at your protection group?

2) What does that full status message read?

the errorr mesage is:

error: unable to recover virtual machine 'name of server'.

protection for the VM need to be repaired

With that error message the virtual machine should show with an error in the protection group. I would, from the protection group, remove protection. If, after that, the shadow vm exists on the remote site, delete that from disk as well. Then configure protection on the virtual machine.

Good luck!

If I remove protection group the shadow VM does not show in the remote site. we now that the config is fine only test does not work but when you RUN the recovery it finish with suces. I think i am mising something that stop power-in VM.

could you provide the SRM log file?

Its default location is below unless you changed it on install

You're having storage issues. I believe I see at least two datastores disappearing during your test, possibly this vm is on both. Go back and analyze the LUN mapping in MirrorView and you're snapshot configuration, then get EMC on the phone.

Here I see discovery of at least one of the LUN that I believe this VM resides

Received update for vim.Datastore:datastore-1237:
name = "info",
op = "assign",
val = (vim.host.VmfsDatastoreInfo) {
dynamicType = &lt;unset&gt;,

vmfs = (vim.host.VmfsVolume) {
dynamicType = &lt;unset&gt;,
type = "VMFS",
name = "snap-0307ec41-OS_LUN_64_EXMS4-A",
capacity = 117843165184,
blockSizeMb = 1,
maxBlocks = 262144,
majorVersion = 3,
version = "3.33",

extent = (vim.host.ScsiDisk.Partition) ,
vmfsUpgradable = false,
forceMountedInfo = (vim.host.ForceMountedInfo) null,
},
},
}

Now, identification of the VM

You say the name of the VM is "exms4"? Your first screen shot shows a VM named "EXMS4-A" and I see only this one virtual machine in these logs.

My comment on MirrorView was likely wrong, I should had said SnapVIew. Do you have adequate space allocated to the Reserved LUN Pool? If this is the issue you would be able to confirm through the Navisphere Event Monitor.

The things that would lead me to look at storage first are entries like the disappearance of the:

Hello

The problem was solved. I saw in protected site need to have the same

configuration of snapview as recovery site. Also in recovery site I find that

placeholder of configurable files was marked with read question marks and I

change to different lun something else that was presented to blade server.

from that I don’t know the reason why the protected site need the snapview

the same as in recovery site.
