I have an existing SRM 5.1 environment comprised of a single protected site and a single recovery/DR site. A third site has just been brought online and I would like to implement Shared Recovery Sites in order to use a single, common recovery site for the two production sites. I know how to set up a shared recovery site infrastructure from scratch (by specifying a unique SRM ID during the install of each SRM pair) but is there a procedure that needs to be followed to convert an already existing SRM environment into the shared recovery site model?
My assumption is that, because the existing SRM deployment has a unique SRM ID (whatever the default is for any "normal" install) and i'll be creating the new SRM pair with a unique SRM ID, each pair will essentially end up with unique IDs and everything will function as expected. Before I go ahead with this though, I just want to be sure I don't need to perform a reinstall or a repair on the existing environment.
Has anyone done this before or is there a VMware doc I'm missing somewhere?
Thanks,
Matt
