Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for managing raw device mapping during disaster recovery. A raw device mapping (RDM) file operation is assigned to a virtual device associated with a virtual machine that is replicated from a premise site. A determination is made that a RDM file associated with the virtual device is invalid or is not replicated after the virtual machine is replicated to a target site. Based on the determination that the RDM file is invalid or is not replicated, the virtual device is removed from the virtual machine and the assigned RDM file operation is performed.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising
- assigning a raw device mapping (RDM) file operation to a virtual device, wherein
- the virtual device is associated with a virtual machine, and
- the virtual machine is replicated from a premise site;
- determining that a RDM file associated with the virtual device is invalid or is not replicated after the virtual machine is replicated to a target site;
- and
- based on the determining that the RDM file is invalid or is not replicated,
- removing the virtual device from the virtual machine, and
- performing the assigned RDM file operation.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising program instructions executable to:
- assign a raw device mapping (RDM) file operation to a virtual device, wherein
- the virtual device is associated with a virtual machine, and
- the virtual machine is replicated from a premise site;
- determine that a RDM file associated with the virtual device is invalid or is not replicated after the virtual machine is replicated to a target site;
- and
- based on a determination that the RDM file is invalid or is not replicated,
- remove the virtual device from the virtual machine, and
- perform the assigned RDM file operation.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory stores program instructions executable by the one or more processors to
- assign a raw device mapping (RDM) file operation to a virtual device, wherein
- the virtual device is associated with a virtual machine, and
- the virtual machine is replicated from a premise site;
- determine that a RDM file associated with the virtual device is invalid or is not replicated after the virtual machine is replicated to a target site;
- and
- based on a determination that the RDM file is invalid or is not replicated,
- remove the virtual device from the virtual machine, and
- perform the assigned RDM file operation.
