    VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! A+++++

    If you have been working with Vmware vSphere for some time? If you have, then this book is for you! Author Michael Gordon Laverick, has done an outstanding job of writing a book that is a complete guide to using SRM. Author Laverick, begins by providing a brief introduction to Site Recovery Manager and discusses some use cases. Then, the author guides you through the configuration of replication with Dell EqualLogic arrays, and covers the basic configuration of the ESXi iSCSI initiator. Next, he covers the configuration of replication with EMC Celerra arrays. The author also guides you through the configuration of replication with CLARiiON arrays. He continues by covering the configuration of replication with the HP P4000 VSA. Next, he guides you through the configuration of NetApp replication arrays, and covers configuration for FC, iSCSI and NFS. The author also covers the installation of Vmware Site Recovery Manager, and details post-configuration steps such as installing an array vendor’s Site Recovery Adapter software. He continues by detailing the steps required to configure vSphere Replication. Then, the author covers the initial setup of the Protected Site and deals with such steps as pairing the sites, inventory mappings, array manager configuration, and placeholder datastore configuration. Next, he covers the basic configuration of the Recovery Plan at the Recovery Site. The author also discusses how Recovery Plans can have very detailed customization designed around a business need. He continues by showing you how administrators can configure alarms and alerts to assist in the da-to-day maintenance of SRM. Then, the author shows you more complicated SRM relationships where SRM protects VMs at multiple sites. Next, he covers the real execution of A Recovery Plan, rather than merely a test. The author also covers what to do if Site Recovery Manager is not available. Finally, he shows you a high-level view of how to upgrade SRM 4.1 to SRM 5.0. This most excellent book flags what’s new in the SRM product. Perhaps more importantly, in the future, the author imagines using the technology that currently sits behind SRM being used to move virtual machines from an internal private cloud to an external public cloud—and from one cloud provider to another.
