6. Microsoft Official Course
Azure Site Recovery

7. Overview of Site Recovery
Site Recovery: replicates workloads running on physical and
virtual machines (VMs) from a primary site to a secondary
location. When an outage occurs at your primary site, you fail
over to secondary location, and access apps from there. After
the primary location is running again, you can fail back to it.
Backup service: The Azure Backup service keeps your data
safe and recoverable by backing it up to Azure.

Azure Site Recovery Vault

12. Azure Site Recovery Vault
• A Recovery Services Vault must be created to hold:
• Settings
• Site Recovery plan
• Monitoring and Reports
• Policies
• Protected items
Management interface

13. Azure Site Recovery Capacity Planner
The capacity planning tool helps you to analyse the source environment (workloads)
on Hyper-V or VMware or Physical server, bandwidth requirements, resource
requirements (VMs, storage) on the target and any additional server resources that
are required on the source side (SC VMMs, Configuration Servers, Process Servers
etc).

16. Implementing Azure-based protection of Hyper-V
VMs without VMM
1. Create an Azure virtual network
2. Create an Azure storage account
3. Create a Recovery Services vault (same region as Storage
and Vnet account)
4. Specify the protection goal (from Hyper-V to Azure)
5. Set up the source environment (azure agent..)
6. Set up the target environment
7. Set up replication settings
8. Confirm that you have run the Capacity Planner
9. Select protected virtual machines and enable
their replication

Site Recovery:
Azure VMs between
regions

23. Replicating Azure VMs between regions
The Azure Site Recovery service contributes to your business continuity and
disaster recovery (BCDR) strategy by keeping your business apps up and
running, during planned and unplanned outages. Site Recovery manages and
orchestrates disaster recovery of on-premises machines and Azure virtual
machines (VMs), including replication, failover, and recovery.

24. Replicating Azure VMs between regions
It can be configured from the Azure VM / Disaster recovery
Or
From Recovery Services Vaults / Site Recovery

32. Additional considerations for VMware and physical servers
• VMware components:
• Use vSphere v5.1, vSphere v 5.5 or vSphere v6.0
• Use vCenter version 5.5 or vCenter version 6.0
(recommended, not required)
• Outbound connectivity:
• Must allow TCP 443/9443 to access the Azure URLs from
the configuration server
• Replication bandwidth of the process server:
• Can be controlled via Azure Backup throttling
• Can be controlled via registry (number of
upload/download threads)

33. Implementing Azure-based protection of
VMware VMs and physical servers
1. Create an Azure virtual network
2. Create an Azure storage account
3. Set up an account on the vSphere host or vCenter
server for automatic discovery of VMware VMs
4. Prepare the configuration server
5. Create a Recovery Services vault
6. Specify the protection goal
7. Set up the source environment
8. Set up the target environment
9. Set up replication settings
10. Confirm that you have run the Capacity Planner
11. Select the VMware VMs and enable their replication

52. Recovery using Azure Site Recovery
• Failover:
• Test failover:
• Use an isolated Azure virtual network
• Keep the protected virtual machine online—no production impact
• Planned failover:
• Use an Azure virtual network mapped to the production network
• Shut down the protected virtual machine—no data loss
• Unplanned failover:
• Use an Azure virtual network mapped to the production network
• Attempt to shut down the protected virtual machine—potential data
loss
• Failback:
• Establish reverse replication
• Use planned failover in the opposite direction
