Hi Ted,
Thanks, but we are not that complicated to need SRM. We have the infrastructure to replicate our few mission critical VMs and have configured vSphere replication to do so. We just want to manually test one of the replicating VMs at the remote site on our isolated VMware test network, but I would like to understand the best practice for doing so. Is it as simple as:
Stop replication
Do a recovery of the replicated node to isolated network
Power down recovery node
Remove replicated node from VM inventory
Reactivate replication
Just a WAG on my end at the above, hence the desire to better understand the best approach.
Thanks,
jeff
