Site Recovery Manager and MSCS

Clik here to view.


When reading several SRM docs I was wondering if Microsoft Clustering was supported or not. I knew that in version 1.0 it wasn’t supported. When reading the Release Notes I noticed the following:

Full Support for RDM devices
SRM now provides full support for virtual machines that use raw disk mapping (RDM) devices. This enables support of several new configurations, including Microsoft Cluster Server. (Virtual machine templates cannot use RDM devices.)

Microsoft Clustering Services is supported as of Update 1. But you will need to keep in mind when creating your Recovery Plan that all nodes of the cluster will belong to the same Protection Group and can possibly  be started up or shutdown at the same time….. I haven’t configured SRM in combination with MSCS so far, if any of you has any tips/tricks let me know.
