VMware Site Recovery Manager

Eaton developed a package to allow the connection between the Power and VMware Site Recovery Manager

(SRM):

http:\\pqsoftware.eaton.com\\inst

all\\win32\\ipm\\UserGuide_VMWareSiteRecoveryManagerIPM.pdf

This package provides the following benefits:

Starts recovery process on several different events: IPM initiates the execution of recovery plan upon

several different events.

Less down time for end users: VMs will be down only for the amount of time required to transfer the latest

snapshot and will restart once transfer is complete. The unprotected VMs will continue to run on the

primar

y site.
