Hyper-V Disaster Recovery Notes for Storage Replication
Posted in Virtual Machine Manager, Windows Server | No Comment | 1,966 views | 09/06/2014 17:54

This is my notes and scripts for a Hyper-V Disaster Recovery with Storage Replication.

First script on Main Site, creates Volume identifiers under CSV Volumes. So after a Volume restore, we can restore Volume names with that index. Also scripts exports all virtual machine configs. That will make it easier to restore all Virtual Machines on Hyper-V.

# Clear VM Config
$TestVMConfigPath = Test-Path -Path "C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\VMExport.Config"
 
if ($TestVMConfigPath)
{
	Clear-Content -Path "C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\VMExport.Config"
}
 
# Export VM Config
$ClusterNodes = Get-Cluster | Get-ClusterNode
 
foreach ($ClusterNode in $ClusterNodes)
{
	# Get Virtual Machines
	$VMs = Get-VM -ComputerName $ClusterNode
 
	# Export VM Config
	foreach ($VM in $VMs)
	{
		# Get Virtual Machines
		$VMConfigPath = $VM.ConfigurationLocation + "\Virtual Machines\" + $VM.Id + ".xml"
 
		# Export to Config File
		Add-Content -Value $VMConfigPath -Path "C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\VMExport.Config"
	}
}
 
# Read All CSV Directories
$CSVVolumes = Get-ChildItem "C:\ClusterStorage"
 
foreach ($CSVVolume in $CSVVolumes)
{
	# Get CSV Volume Name
	$CSVVolumeName = $CSVVolume.Name
 
	# Get CSV Identifier Name
	$CSVIdentifierName = $CSVVolumeName + ".CSV"
 
	# Get CSV Path
	$CSVPath = $CSVVolume.FullName
 
	# Get CSV Identifier Path
	$CSVIdentifierPath = $CSVPath + "\" + $CSVIdentifierName
 
	# Test CSV Identifier Path
	$TestCSVIdentifierPath = Test-Path $CSVIdentifierPath
 
	if (!$TestCSVIdentifierPath)
	{
		# Create CSV Identifier
		New-Item -Path "$CSVPath" -Name "$CSVIdentifierName" -ItemType File
	}
}

Second Script on DR site, clears all old objects on Hyper-V and Failover Cluster. Restores volume names according to Volume Identifiers. After that imports all virtual machines by using our virtual machine exports.

	Add-VMToCluster $VMName
}

After that, you will be able to start your virtual machines.
