Hi @thhg , vSphere replication appliance will only list VMs from vCenter to which it is registered. Please deploy another vSphere replication appliance in 2nd vCenter server and register it.

Hi @AptitudeL , If your replication is managed by vSphere replication, it can consume additional space if you had configured point in time instances. If not, you can also check --> https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2150251 If this is storage based replication, It is better to check with storage vendor as well once.

Hi @JhonPaul1992 , vSphere HA is a cluster feature that protects VMs against host isolation/failure's and I don't see a reason why Microsoft would charge you for this cluster feature. For ex: If the VM is residing on host1 and it is not accessible/down for some reason, vSphere HA will restart this VM on 2nd host. Why are they charging you for additional license unless you are running 2 SQL server instances ?

Hi @padulka , Default behavior is to recover VMs in a bubble network when you perform test recovery to avoid conflicts with production environment. If you have a configured an isolated VM port group just for test recovery and mapped the same in network mapping, VMs should recover in them. Hope that helps

Hi @Petersaints , If you cannot add 2nd interface on VR appliance at Site B, then you can deploy a add on server here and add 2nd interface on it for replications. Note: You cannot add more than one VR appliance(management/primary appliance), however you can add additional servers under it for load balancing/managing replications. Pairing from Site B to C would use the existing appliances and when you configure VM replications, you can select the add-on servers. Deploy add-on VR server Register add-on VR server to primary server Isolate traffic on add-on server Hope that helps
@John_Helios Hi, There could be an issue with the key, if add(not assign) license key process itself is reporting this error. Can you confirm that the key correctly entered ?

@Rayes , SRM orchestrates and automates certain recovery tasks (Recover multiple VMs, storage mount, VM register, IP customization, custom power on scripts,etc.) for you when triggered. SRM works with two replication technologies: vSphere replication and storage based replication. SRM itself does not replicate any objects. SRM can either be combined with vSphere replication or a storage array level replication for recovery tasks: This should answer most of the questions: SRM FAQs (Refer questions under 'Product Requirements' & 'Product Features') https://blogs.vmware.com/virtualblocks/2017/06/22/srm-array-based-replication-vs-vsphere-replication/ I am not aware of any automatic failover solutions from VMware.

Hi @xspader , vCenter server is a management server and I don't see a reason to replicate it. You can replicate it and the option to recovery it would mostly be manual. If vCenter goes down, you won't have access to vSphere replication plug-in and you need to manually browse and register vCenter VM by connecting directly to one of the hosts. Additionally, you should look at other available options: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-226A925F-BF20-4A58-BF15-4A76B4CEDC84.html

Hi @Omid_Heravi , Current SRM releases are more of 'no.of VMs' based and not CPU which was an option provided in earlier versions. Note: Always provide product version when raising such queries. From the screenshot, you have a SRM enterprise license to protect 100 VMs. To check the license usage, please login to vCenter web client --> Licensing --> Solutions --> Assets and look for license usage against your SRM server. Hope that helps.
