1 Introduction

vReplicator v2.5 Chapter 2 Installation 4

vReplicator™ software is a powerful real-time replication solution for the VMware® ESX Server environment. vReplicator is designed to perform replication specifically for

virtual machines (VMs.)

In this manual, you will learn how to install and configure vReplicator. You will also learn how to use these components:

• Notification

• Alerts

• Hybrid and differential replication

• Reports

First, some background on the context in which vReplicator was developed.

Virtualization and VMware Overview

As companies and industries grow, their technology needs change. These changes are often implemented within complex systems running business-critical applications. Usually there is an increased demand for shared hardware and software resources. To manage this demand, many companies establish virtual environments. Doing so can increase an organization’s agility and efficiency while lowering its costs.

Most companies have a number of specialized physical servers and workstations that are underutilized. Virtualizing such an environment increases and balances utilization by consolidating the physical machines into a single physical host that runs multiple VMs. The VMs share the resources—processor, memory, network cards, and disks—of one physical host. The work that the physical machines did previously continues, but with greater efficiency. The host runs a layer of virtualization software that manages the environment. Each VM’s operating system (OS)—usually Windows or Linux—functions

as if the hardware were physical. Guest software can see only x processor, y memory, and

so forth.

A virtual infrastructure affords maximum flexibility, allowing you to treat VMs as if they were physical hardware and software. VMs can be moved easily between hosts. They can be run in isolation or in groups. Their workloads can be reconfigured as demand requires. This flexibility is supported by management tools. VMware VirtualCenter (VC) and ESX Server are, respectively, the management server and software components that lend order to flexibility in a virtual environment.

As a management server, VC orchestrates the configuring and provisioning of all VMs. VC’s database stores all of the shared information between the physical hosts and the VMs. Without compromising security, VC makes it possible to connect to a host remotely from a standard Windows computer.

As its own host OS, ESX Server allows you to establish VMs, configure and manage their shared resources, and make ongoing adjustments to increase performance. Each VM is configured with its own virtual hardware—for example, central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), and universal serial bus (USB) ports. The work of the VM’s physical counterpart is run in its native OS. Because VMs require neither redundant hardware nor physical space, virtualization can mean significant cost savings.

The transition from physical to virtual is seamless. To achieve optimum utilization in a virtualized environment, it must be maintained well. To do this, data and other assets must be monitored, protected, and preserved.

vReplicator v2.5 Chapter 2 Installation 6

vReplica tor Overview

Reliable business continuity and disaster recovery (DR) strategies deliver comprehensive and consistent results. Replication plays a key role in this process. If done well, replication can restore systems securely while enhancing performance and minimizing interruption.

VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3) provides a solid platform for replication. vReplicator 2.5 was designed to be the definitive replication solution for VI3. vReplicator captures the complete VM image—OS, configuration settings, applications, and data. vReplicator’s Windows-based interface offers easy access and navigation. All potential source and destination machines display in a tree structure.

There are two replication methods and schedules from which to choose. Once a job is configured, you can run it at any time—even off-schedule. You can run jobs between hosts, VMs, or dissimilar hardware platforms. With the help of vzBoost, vReplicator does its work quickly—while the source machine is running—without compromising system resources. vReplicator monitors VM and host performance patterns. You can use this information to improve replication job scheduling.

Snapshots

vReplicator uses VMware snapshots during replications to ensure that the entire VM image is captured. Snapshots keep each replication job current by allowing you to revert to a previous point in time, merging that data with the current data.

vReplicator does not support third party tools that use snapshots. vRanger Pro is an exception because it shares a file-locking mechanism with vReplicator that prevents failures and data loss, even when the applications are running concurrently against the same VM. When vReplicator attempts a replication, it needs access to the source VM’s disk files. For vRanger Pro to create a backup, it requires similar access. If a replication job is in process when vRanger Pro attempts a backup, vRanger Pro will pause until the replication pass has completed. Alternately, if a backup job is in process when vReplicator attempts a replication, the replication pass will pause to allow the backup to complete.

Warning: During hybrid replication, a snapshot remains open continuously. This can compromise vRanger Pro’s ability to complete differential backups of a VM being replicated. When you initiate a hybrid replication, you should not use vRanger Pro to perform a differential backup of that VM. In this case, it is best to complete a full backup of the machine.

vReplicator can connect with the source and destination machines directly or through VC. There are several advantages to integrating VC with vReplicator. VC serves as a host management interface, organizing data stores, hosts, VMs, and other objects in a tree structure. VC makes it possible for vReplicator to monitor the movement of VMs

vReplicator v2.5 Chapter 2 Installation 7

between hosts. Even after a vMotion event occurs, replication activities can continue unabated.

VSS

The Microsoft® Volume Shadow Copy Service (MS VSS) driver in vReplicator works in conjunction with Vizioncore’s VSS agent to ensure reliable remote API call communication. By alternately freezing and thawing application writes, MS VSS and Vizioncore VSS provide consistent results during each replication process. VSS enables quiescing—or pausing—of application writes when database servers such as SQL and Oracle are being replicated.

vzBoost

In vReplicator, vzBoost is an optional driver that improves write speeds to the Virtual Machine File System (VMFS). vzBoost manages Service Console traffic; it has no input/output (I/O) impact on running VMs. The driver is enabled through Tools→Preferences→ESX Server and is installed on the destination ESX host. vReplicator activates the driver when a write to VMFS is initialized. The driver remains activated only for the duration of the write. As soon as the data transfer completes, the driver becomes inactive and no longer taxes system resources.

Differential Replication

In differential replication, the source Virtual Machine Disk Format (VMDK) is scanned. A data map is created during the first replication pass. When the first snapshot is taken, disk writes are suspended temporarily. The snapshot remains open. An empty virtual disk—called the delta file—is added. As data is replicated, this file grows. These changes are merged back into the VMDK and the snapshot is closed. During the second replication pass, a snapshot is opened. On the vReplicator box, the source VM’s current data is compared to the changed data stored in the data map. These changes are replicated, block by block, and committed to the destination machine. Then, the snapshot is closed and the VMDK is opened. The entire source VM image is replicated to the destination machine.

Hybrid Replication

Using the hybrid approach, replication is done as a function of change over time rather than change to data. Snapshots can be taken at shorter intervals with no loss of data. There is no need to scan during each replication pass. The differentials engine resynchronizes the source and destination VMs selectively. Therefore, there is no need to replicate the entire source image again, just to capture the data that changed between snapshots.

During hybrid replication, two snapshots are created. One snapshot remains open continuously. While the second snapshot is usually not visible to the user, it plays an important role in replication. As time passes, the second snapshot fills with data.

vReplicator v2.5 Chapter 2 Installation 8

Ultimately, this data is copied to the destination VM and then merged into the first snapshot.

This method allows for a very fast process, in part because no scanning is required. Nonetheless, the continuously open snapshot can decrease I/O temporarily. Because this method replicates as a function of change over time, snapshots can grow rather large and cumbersome. For this reason, it is important to confirm sufficient free disk space in advance of initiating a hybrid replication.

Replication to Multiple Destinations

vReplicator 2.5 offers replication from a single source to multiple destinations. Having this additional flexibility enhances your ability to recover from a disaster. You can schedule two jobs to execute in the same timeframe from one source VM to more than one destination. The first job that you create will execute as scheduled and the second job will be queued to run when the first job completes. Replication to multiple destinations can be done for either replication type—hybrid or differential.

Skipping VMDKs

Using vReplicator’s Job Wizard, you can specify which hard disks to replicate from a single source datastore. One benefit of excluding disks that do not need to be replicated is that in doing so you conserve resources—from time and effort to disk space and bandwidth.

Performance Monitoring

As you try to establish a replication schedule that does not compromise system performance, monitoring information becomes vital. To help you assess the impact of replication jobs on your environment, vReplicator provides real-time performance statistics that indicate the load on each host. These statistics— Service Console CPU, memory, disk, and network usage—display in the Replication Management pane.

Encryption

vReplicator 2.5 uses Triple Data Encryption Standard (Triple DES) cryptology to provide password and data protection functionality. All configuration settings such as User Name, Root, and SMTP are encrypted automatically and stored securely in a disk file.

vReplica tor Licensing

In vReplicator, licensing is job-based rather than CPU-based. Each vReplicator license allows for one replication job from one source to one target. For each job that is scheduled, you will need a license. For example, if you replicate one VM to two remote sites, you will need two licenses if one job is in process when you add the second job. If, instead, the first job completes before you add the second job, the first license will be available to apply to the second job. Licensing applies only to source VMs. Target VMs do not require licensing.

If you do not have a permanent license, a trial license will be generated automatically for you. Each trial license allows for four replication jobs; the license expires after 30 days.

2 Installation

vReplicator v2.5 Chapter 2 Installation 25

The vReplicator installation process is simple. After you confirm that all requirements and pre-requisites have been met, identify the following:

• VCs and/or hosts that you want to configure.

• Default settings for replication type and frequency.

• Default limits for simultaneous replications.

• Default recipients for replication job notification.

• Users who should receive alerts when storage is low.

System Requirements

This section describes the hardware and software requirements for vReplicator installation.

Location Requirements

vReplicator requires a physical or virtual machine running Windows 2000 SP4, Windows 2003 SP1 or SP2, and .NET Framework version 2.0. For optimal performance, it is best to install vReplicator on a physical machine. If you install the software on a VM, it is best to do so on one that is running Windows 2003 rather than XP. For the Vizioncore VSS agent to work, you must have MS VSS installed. For MS VSS to work, the machine must be running Windows 2003 R2, SP1, SP2, or SP4 and .NET 2.0.

You can confirm that you have .NET Framework v2.0 installed by accessing Start→Add or Remove Programs. You can install .NET Framework v2.0 through Internet Explorer→Tools→Windows Update. Alternately, you can download it from the Microsoft website.

The physical or virtual machine must also meet the following criteria:

• Pentium III class CPU or greater

• 256 MB RAM (512 MB recommended)

• 2 GB free hard disk space (4 GB or greater recommended)

• 1024x768 video resolution (1280x1024 or greater recommended)

• 100 Mb/sec or greater network adapter

• Unimpeded network secure shell access (SSH)—port 22—from vReplicator to

both the source and destination servers

VMware ESX Server Requirements

User Accounts and Passwords

For each replication source and destination VM, you must use a login with appropriate permissions. vReplicator requires the use of root, non-root, and system administrator (SA) IDs and non-root and SA passwords. This section contains information specific to

vReplicator password requirements. For additional information, see the General Password Security Guidelines section at the end of this chapter.

Switch User/Root Access

vReplicator requires root access. For security reasons, many ESX Servers are configured so that a root user cannot log in directly from another computer. To gain root access, vReplicator must connect with a non-root user ID and then switch user (su) to the root account. For the non-root ID and password, it is best to use the same ID and password that you selected for VC.

System Administrator Access

vReplicator also requires SA access; for example, when you install a new instance of MS SQL Express 2005. The SA password must meet SQL Server password policy requirements. In general, SA passwords should be complex but memorable. The passwords should be written down and adequately protected, but accessible to those who need them.

Password Security Setting Policy

Weak passwords compromise system security. The MS Windows security setting policy has been enabled and configured for vReplicator passwords. When you create and update passwords in vReplicator, follow as many of these guidelines as your environment allows:

• A password should not include a significant portion of a user or account name.

• Each password should be at least six characters long.

• Passwords should contain characters from several of these categories:

-Uppercase letters in English (A-Z)

-Lowercase letters in English (a-z)

-Digits 0-9

-Non-alphabetic characters (for example, $, !, #, %)

Source These are the requirements for the source machine:

• You do not need to complete any installations on the source VMFS.

• The source VMFS must be formatted for ESX 3.
