To answer the question in the title, very fast. Here is a 2 minute video I recently recorded showing SRM recovering 1000 VMs in less than 26 minutes. This was done with SRM 6.5, vSphere Replication 6.5 and vSAN 6.5. It isn’t so much to show what results you will achieve, rather what vSphere, vSAN, vCenter, SRM and VR are capable of.
Details as follows:
Hosts:
- 4 hosts at recovery site
- 2 socket 10 core processors – 256GB Memory each
- vSAN 6.5 – All Flash
- 2 disk groups per host (1 cache/5 capacity disks each)
VMs:
- 1000 Debian Linux VMs with VMtools installed
- 128 MB Memory/1 GB HD
- Replicated with vSphere Replication – RPO 1 hour
Recovery Plan:
- 10 Protection Groups – 100 VMs each
- 200 VMs in each of the 5 Priority Groups (all VMs in a Priority Group must start before the VMs in the next Priority Group are started)
- No IP customization
