SVSP and VMware consistency

[Didier BLANC]

We plan to use SVSP with synchronous mirror (local) and asynchronous mirror (remote for DR).
Cluster ESX are used with this architecture, with Linux and Windows VM.
My questions:

- are PiT replication file system consistent ?
(ie will it be possible to start VM on remote vDisk)

- if not, what are the best practice to have VMware consistency on the remote site ?

- are sync mirror file system consistent ?
(ie will it be possible to restart VM in case of power outage on primary site ?)

Hello Didier,
in your case (asynchronous site) this might help you: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA2-9855ENW.pdf - a nice whitepaper "Disaster Recovery Solutions with HP SVSP and VMware SRM" regarding mirror over IP WAN.

I hope it could be relevant
