Just received notice this morning that EMC VNX Replicator has been approved for support for VMware Site Recovery Manager 4.0.x and 4.1.x. An excerpt of the message is below:

The EMC VNX Replicator 4.0.23 is now certified (re-test waiver) for SRM versions 4.0.x and 4.1.x. EMC has updated the 4.0.22 Celerra SRA to reflect new array support (VNX line), but have not had to change any of the code as the new array runs the same replication software as the old (Celerra line).

The SRA is available from the SRM 4.1.1 download page at
http://downloads.vmware.com/d/details/srm411/ZCVwYnRkZCpiZGpwKg.

Note that you must login to get the download page that contains the SRA files.

The updated SRM storage partner compatibility matrix is available at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/srm_storage_partners.pdf.

The past few weeks I’ve been working with a customer that only has ESXi, Veeam FastSCP has came in really handy lately! I can copy files between systems or between a system and my desktop, the flexibility it creates is amazing.  It also attempts to utilize the VMKernel API first, if it cannot make a connection that way it will fallback to SSH.  Did I forget to mention, its blazing fast!

Well, now is your chance to get Veeam Backup and Replication for 50% off! Don’t miss this great opportunity to get a solid backup utility for your ESX(i) infrastructure.  Oh yeah, it also works with ESXi Free Edition!

Through June 15, Veeam Software is extending a special upgrade offer that gives you budget relief, freeing you to license the new #1 for VMware backup and replication. Veeam has the functionality, reliability and performance you need now.

You can have both backup and replication in one product - now 50% off when you provide proof of purchase of a competing product. Learn more >>
