HP Matrix Operating Environment Software - Manual (Page 17)

In the case of a cluster shared volume or shared cluster disks, the replicated disk on
the Remote Site Hyper-V host must be configured with the same cluster resource name
that is assigned to the Local Site disk it is replicated from.
•
When creating recovery logical servers, you must specify the datastore name for the
logical server. The datastore name selected must be the same as the datastore name
for the Local Site logical server.
•
The names of recovery logical server storage entries must be the same as the names
of the logical server storage entries on the Local Site.
•
The names of recovery logical server storage pool entries must be the same as the
names of the logical server storage pool entries on the Local Site.
b. Refresh Virtual Machine resources using the Logical Servers Refresh operation in the Tools
menu of the Visualization tab in Matrix OE visualization.
4. Use Matrix OE visualization to create recovery logical servers. Specify the replicated LUNs
information as part of logical server creation. When entering storage information during VM
hosted logical server creation, select the datastore name of the datastore where the VM hosted
logical servers were created.
NOTE:
•
Do not activate the recovery logical servers at this time. During the Matrix recovery management
configuration process, the recovery logical servers will be further configured in the configuration
import process at the Remote Site and there will be an opportunity to activate and deactivate
the recovery logical servers at that time.
•
To avoid confusion, HP recommends adopting a best practice of using the same logical server
name at the Remote Site as the one that was used for the associated logical server at the Local
Site.
•
For information on cross-technology logical servers (logical servers capable of being VC hosted
or VM hosted), see
Dynamic workload movement with CloudSystem Matrix .
•
For sites with a large number of logical servers, partitioning logical servers into portability
groups can reduce activation time during failover. HP recommends that the portability group
associated with logical servers on both the Local Site and the Remote Site be limited to a
subset of virtual machine hosts and virtual connect blades that are capable of hosting these
logical servers. For additional information on configuring portability groups, see Logical
servers
→Menus & screens→Manage portability groups in the HP Matrix OE Visualization and
Logical Servers online help.
Configuring Matrix recovery management
After you install Matrix recovery management, you can launch the Matrix recovery management
GUI from the HP Matrix Operating Environment home page by selecting Tools and then selecting
Matrix recovery management... from the drop-down menu.
Use the Matrix recovery management GUI to configure Matrix recovery management, manage DR
Protected logical servers and DR Protected IO services, and test failover capability.
Matrix recovery management GUI overview
The home screen for the Matrix recovery management user interface includes tabs for configuration
and administration tasks—see
Figure 2 (page 18) .
