Hello Experts,
I am new to SRM and looking out for below info on SRM 5.1 for designing a DC-DR solution
1.) How much compute capacity(CPU,memory/disk) we should allocate for SRM VM at each site. Is there any recommendation guide for sizing of SRM w.r.t no of hosts or VM protected?
2.) For Testing out DR plans how much additional storage capacity should we keep in spare at fail over site as I understand that SRM makes snapshots of virtual machines during DR plan testing. Can we also keep that additional capacity on NL disks if my primary data sits on high performance FC or SAS disks?
3.) Can we protect VMware View or citrix xen desktop VMs using SRM and vSphere 5.1 replication feature?
4.) Does SRM gets shipped as a virtual appliance or is it a software that gets loaded on windows 2008.? Do we need any DB for it if yes can we install DB on same virtual machine on which SRM SW will get installed?
