Nimble: Policy-based Disaster Recovery

VM Failover with PowerCLI on Nimble Storage

At VMworld 2016  Julian Cates and Pete Flecha demonstrated a planned failover of a VVol VM.  If you haven’t already, be sure to check out Nimble’s implementation of Virtual Volumes on Nimble OS 3.  In this demo video you will see the following:

• There is a VM on the source side called Barcelona Demo.
• There is no replicated copy of this VM on the target side
• The script kicks off.
• The VM is removed from the source vCenter Inventory
• The VM is brought online at the destination
• Refreshing the view on the destination array shows that the previous replicas are now online volumes.
