DellEMC has just released RecoverPoint for VMs 5.0 SP1 which has a couple of New Features that are listed below from the release notes. The network configuration process is huge improvement which I am pleased to see happen.
Copy VM network configuration
Network configuration is now a semi-automatic process that no longer requires glue scripts. The GUI has been improved and relevant setting values can now be retrieved from the production VM. MAC addresses of remote copy VMs located on a different vCenter are now automatically replicated, and users can now select whether or not to replicate the MAC address of local copy VMs located on the same vCenter.
Deployer GUI improvements
The RecoverPoint for VMs Deployer provides improved user experience with:
- Browser resizing
- Clearer error messages
- Improved validations
- More intuitive interface
- Default values to minimize user inputs
ESX UUID duplication support
Beginning with Release 5.0.1, RecoverPoint replaces the use of VMware’s ESX host UUID and creates its own unique identifier, which ensures that no duplicate or degenerated UUIDs exist in the system. The substitution occurs only if the:
- vRPA cluster is at version 5.0.1 or higher, and
- Splitter is at version 5.0.1 or higher
For versions lower than 5.0.1, RecoverPoint displays a warning about the condition.
