Best practise da seguire in caso disaster recovery - vcenter virtual appliance - 2 host - shared storage

Posto in questa sessione anche la mia domanda inserita sulla sezione vcenter- Se qualcuno volesse contribuire

Hello, sorry for my bad english, i'm trying to write a to do list for a disaster recovery plan of my small enviroment.

So could you tell me if is all correct or do you make other things?

My situation:

2 host (host1 and host2) esxi 5 - 1 shared storage hp p2000 iscsi - vm essential (no HA no vmotion)

vcenter appliance running on host 1

i'm tryng to analyze alla cases of failure:

case 1 (named vcenter down)

host1 failure (host2 and shared storage running)

in this case i have to:

1 connect directly to host2 - browse datastore - register vcenter.vmx - and power up the machine

2 connect to vcenter activated on host2

3 remove host1 from inventory

4 browse datastore to register all virtualmachine.vmx to host2

is correct?

case 2 (named host2 down)

in this case vcenter is running so i have to:

1 connect to vcenter

2 remove host2 from inventory

3 browse datastore to register all virtualmachine.vmx to host2

case 3 (named shared storage down)

i have to call hp to repair p2000 and wait

if the storage is lost i have to buy a new host with good resource of space and ram and restore all virtual machine with veeam backup that backup vm all nights?

Is all correct?

Cheers and thanks for your contributions
