RecoverPoint Configuration
RecoverPoint is a multi-node cluster– 2 nodes for RecoverPoint/SE– 2–8 nodes for RecoverPoint– All nodes in active-active configuration– Loads can be distributed across nodes– Nodes can be added to live system
Host-, array- or fabric-based write splitter– Lightweight driver on host OR CLARiiON splitter
OR Cisco fabric-based splitters– Intercepts writes to protected LUNs only– Sends writes to local appliance– RecoverPoint/SE only supports Windows and
CLARiiON splitters
Supports mirrored SAN– Two separate SANs for reliability– Supports nondisruptive fabric upgrades– Provides high availability for RecoverPoint configurations
through fault isolation– Supports Cisco and Brocade (including M models) fabrics
Supports iSCSI and Fibre Channel– RecoverPoint appliances include native 2/4/8 Gb/s optical
support– CLARiiON splitter supports Fibre Channel and iSCSI volumes

Recover Point Synchronous Replication
Operates in two modes: static and dynamic– Static fixed policies:
200 kilometer distance and 4 millisecond latency– Dynamic user-specified policies:
Set upper and lower thresholds for latency and/or throughput Exceeding upper threshold results in change to asynchronous Meeting lower thresholds results in change back to synchronous
Synchronous performance slower than asynchronous– Acknowledgement must travel roundtrip before next write can be processed
Initial synchronization, resynchronization will be asynchronous– During initial synchronization, during a sweep, and during recover production/resume production
process
Supports RecoverPoint and RecoverPoint/SE, all splitter types Requires stretched Fibre Channel network

Journaling for Application-Aware Recovery
Time/date– Identifies the time image was
saved
Bookmarks:– System-generated group
bookmarks (e.g., failover snapshot)
– User-generated bookmarks– Other EMC product bookmarks
(e.g., EMC Replication Manager)– System-event-generated
bookmarks– Microsoft SQL Server (VDI)– Microsoft Exchange (VSS)
Journal includes data plus metadata

Understanding Data Consistency Grouping for a Consistent View
Allows application recovery to be tiered by service level
– Multiple volumes per group– Mixed recovery point objectives within
same infrastructure
Provides independent replication controls
– Recover by group, locally or remotely– Start/stop by group
Enables grouping of optimization – Importance– Resource usage– Recovery point and recovery time
objectives

Grouping for Federated Environments
Each tier has different service level agreements
– Consistency groups per tier – Operational recovery of tier
Parallel consistency across tiers– Federated environments– Recover to a known point for all
applications– Disaster recovery for tier or application– Spans operating systems, applications,
storage, and servers
Enables advanced functions– Full environment cloning– Application upgrade testing– Data mining– Consistent production rebuild

VMware Affinity: vCenter Site Recovery Manager
VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager consistency groups
– Displayed as “managed by SRM”– Can only be monitored– Snapshot access requires move to “maintenance
mode”– vCenter Site Recovery Manager failover cannot occur
for consistency groups in “maintenance mode”
vCenter Site Recovery Manager uses latest image during its test or disaster failover
– A restriction on vCenter Site Recovery Manager not RecoverPoint
– CDP replica and journal not available during a real failover (only vCenter Site Recovery Manager test mode)
Supports VMware vCenter Server 2.5 – Only ESX 3.5 with vCenter Site Recovery Manager, not
ESX 4.0 with vCenter Site Recovery Manager (a VMware limitation)
