Figure 10. Symmetric protection groups
Alternatively, Site Recovery Manager also allows asymmetric or one-to-many datastore group to DR group
relationships, as shown in Figure 11. Although more complex to manage, you can use an asymmetric
configuration to spread large protection groups with many LUNs or high capacity across multiple
Continuous Access DR groups. Multiple DR groups can help to optimize the normalization time (full copy to
synchronize EVA Vdisk between the source and destination array), allows replicated I/O load balancing
between EVA controllers and provide additional data replication tunnel resources to replicate incoming
writes. However, in most cases the same benefits can be yielded when segmenting the protected VMs and
their associated storage LUNs into multiple Site Recovery Manager datastore groups each mapped to a
single DR group.
