Yesterday VMware released Update 1 of their killer product vCenter Site Recovery Manager 1.0.
So what’s new in Update 1:

• New permissions required to run a recovery plan
• Full support for RDM devices
• Batch IP property customization
• Limits checking and enforcement
• Improved support for virtual machine that span multiple datastores
• Single action to reconfigure protection for multiple virtual machines
• Simplified log collection
• Improved acceptance of non-ASCII characters

It lacks the long awaited NFS support as requested in many communities but I don’t care so much as I rarely use NFS. The support for RDM is something I do like as I am a big RDM user/implementer.

It’s a new hype and many blog have reported on this subject, ‘SRM in a box‘

I’m not going to write a totaly new blog on this subject, instead I will give you a few nice links and give all credits to Tomas Ten Dam, Eric Sloof and Arne Fokkema.
