Disaster Recovery and VMware database recovery.

I am trying to work out the process for restoring the VMware database in the event of DR. Am I right in thinking that these are the required steps?

Daily maintenance before DR is invoked:

1. Ensure that the LUN's containing the VM's are replicated to the DR SAN

2. Take a regular copy of the Virtual Centre SQL database and copy it to DR (either wrap up tlogs with the backup, or include them in the copy)

After DR is invoked:

1. Mount the Virtual Centre database onto a SQL instance at DR (apply tlogs if not wrapped up with backup)

2. Change the vpxa.cfg file to reflect the new SQL server IP address

Is it really this simple?!?

Any help appreciated.

Sam.
