Synchronous replication use cases
31 Dell EMC SC Series: Synchronous Replication and Live Volume | CML1064
VMware vSphere Site Recovery Manager and SC Series active/active architecture
The DSM server must be available to perform DR testing or an actual DR cutover for an automated DR
solution involving SC Series storage replication. This means making sure that at least one DSM server
resides at the recovery site so that it can be engaged when needed for DR plan execution. The DSM server
labeled as a physical server in Figure 22 also represents a virtualization candidate if it is already powered on
and not required to automate the recovery of the vSphere infrastructure where it resides.
