Product: DS-System

Summary

Remote DS-VDR is a tool that can automate disaster recoveries of virtual machines in remote Data Centers. The VM(s) will be standing as a 'warm' spare to be powered on in case of production site failures. Before the VM(s) are powered on, there are several configurations that must be taken into account.

Details

Once the Remote DS-VDR process is completed, you can manually create a clone of the restored VM(s) that you can use to:

The following are the major parameters that must be configured and tested:

1. Storage devices (local/NAS/SAN).
