Recovering VMM

VMM plays a key role in managing the hosts and VMs in the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft environment.

If you have exhausted all options trying to recover from application failure, you can use DPM to recover the VMM database to a previous

point in time. You can:

• Recover the VMM database

• Recover the VMM VM, and

• Verify that the VMM library server is working.

Recovering the VMM database

1 From the Console VM, open Failover Cluster Manager.

2 Connect to the compute cluster.

3 Shut down the VMM VM (<

Prex

>VMM01).

4 Use the steps in Recovering a database to its original location to recover the following VMM database. To minimize data loss, select

the latest recovery point.

Table 25. VMM Database Name

SQL Server Instance Database Name

SQLIN02 VirtualManagerDB

5 Open Failover Cluster Manager, and connect to the compute cluster.

6 Start the VMM VM.

7 In the VMM console, verify that the content in the Fabric workspace is updated.

8 Detect and repair any data consistency issues by following the required steps in How to use data consistency runbooks.

Recovering the VMM VM

1 From the Console VM, open Failover Cluster Manager.

2 Connect to the compute cluster.

3 Shut down the VMM VM (<

Prex

>VMM01) that is located on the compute cluster.

4 Use the steps in Recovering a VM to its original location to recover the VMM VM. To minimize data loss, select the latest recovery

point.

5 In Failover Cluster Manager, connect to the compute cluster, and then click Roles. In the Roles pane, right-click the VMM VM, and

6 Detect and repair any data consistency issues by following the required steps in How to use data consistency runbooks.

Verifying the VMM library server is working

If you recovered the VMM VM, you should verify that the VMM library is working correctly.

1 After recovery, open the VMM console, and then open the Library workspace.

2 Under Library Servers, verify that the VMM server is listed as the library server, with the correct library shares of MSSCVMMLibrary.

3 If the library server or share does not appear, see the TechNet Library article How to Add a VMM Library Server or VMM Library Share

(http://technet.microsoft.com/library/gg610579.aspx). You can use the existing <

Prex

>-System Run As account to add the library

server.

4 Right-click the library server, and then click Refresh.
