Frage
We have a number of web servers in our VMWare environment. I am a developer (not a sys admin) so I am not familiar with VMWare, but our IT team currently feels the best way to maintain a DR site is to maintain multiple VMWare servers and each time I make changes in IIS in production, I need to make the same changes on the DR VMWare server. This seems like excessive work as well as risky - considering it requires manual redundant configuration.
Is there a way where we can replicate our production VMWare servers to a DR server, and retain IIS settings, file permissions, etc?
Lösung
We use Web Deploy to sync our production server across multiple locations.

Site Recovery Manager allows you to create an entire alternative site on standby.
But on a local level, placing those servers in a High Availability cluster is pretty standard procedure. If one server goes down, the machines go up in another ESX.
- Fault Tolerance is also a useful feature here, although limited to single-CPU VMs.
