Re: VM recovery or SRM
Note: my idea is to recover single vm or multiple vms.
option 2 - in worst case i should be able to recover the entire volume.

Re: VM recovery or SRM
The process is painful if you have to do it manually. SRM automated ALL of these, or at least most of it for you.
To get an idea of the process, you might be able to view the online, selfpaced SRM Fundementals training from VMware.
You can alsy get a 60 day trial for SRM.
You could also try to get a demo of SRM from your reseller... or at least a list of the tasks SRM does in a failover scenario. I don;t have one handy at the moment otherwise i'd post it.

Re: VM recovery or SRM
No. You would have to fail the whole LUN over to the recovery site.
"what number of vms will justify use of SRM ? 10, 20 , 100, etc.."
I don't think you can really measure the need for SRM by the number of VM's, but rather the acceptable downtime necessary in regards to a site failure.
If you have 1 VM...it is easy to recover without SRM. It is likely that you can be down for 10-15 minutes and be ok.
If you have to reconfigure 10 vm's for use at a backup site... it might take 30-60 minutes to do it manually (or more).
How long can your vm's be down for before your company starts spurting dollars out of the window?
Sure, SRM will "help" in a larger environment, but the vm count is not the only thing to consider, and by far not the most important.

Re: VM recovery or SRM
How to have the SRM setup ?
How many license i will need to buy considering two protection sites and cluster setup (protection for site A and B ).
Note:
3 host in cluster mean 2 to take the load and 3rd to be standby for HA in case one down, may be i am wrong and all three are in action.
thx again.
