HI All,
We have a small site, where 84 VM's running on HP Enclosure Blade server BL 460c Gen 8.
Configurations are :-
4 ESXi host 4.1.0, Build 800380.
Cluster :- Single
Storage - HP SAN.
There was a power outage in DC and UPS failure. Due to abrupt power failure the storage and ESXi host were down. After the power restoration, all the 4 ESXi host were up but the devices were not booted in sequential order, which caused the Chassis mid plane failure (FC switch) and all the VM's were unable to see the storage. Few of VM's were critical which caused plant service disruption and we tried to restore the VM's to local data store from the Avamar backup, but unfortunately avamar backup (VM) was also running on same cluster.
Now we have to plan DR so that in future we can prevent such kind of failure. Looking for DR plan advise. Thanks in advance.
thanks
