Configuring VR Replication
All VMs will have the same settings (RPO, quiescence, etc.)
15
The seed can be delivered through any out-of-band channel The more recent, the better The user directs the wizard to the seed files when configuring replication
The seed files must be placed in a specific way at the target Refer to the VR user manual for more details

LightWeight Deltas
Crash consistent if quiescing is turned off Allows cross-disk consistency within a VM Ongoing I/O not penalized with replication active Lightweight snapshots are not the same as VM snapshots (redo logs)

Replication Consistency
Maintains point-in-time consistency VM has a known RPO Guarantees cross-disk consistency All disks within a VM treated as an entity Every replica is a crash consistent image of the VM A VMDK will never be corrupt Guest quiescing adds file system consistency Improves OS recoverability with VSS App-level quiescing adds application level consistency Flush application writers with VSS
22
VR vSCSI filter discards a snapshot only after a sync is completed VR Server writes each replica into a separate redo log A redo log is snapshotted only after a sync is completed Old replicas are collapsed only after a sync is completed There is always at least one valid replica that corresponds to a valid lightweight snapshot
