New VRO Setup?

[Vmware2024]

Hello,

I am newbie to the VRO client wants to upgrade to Veeam Premium and use VRO to setup Site to Site Failover and Failback one click both ways if possible.
Sites are VMware vCenter 8.02 on both sides the host in Main site are 8.02 the host at DR site are 7.03 Dell Servers
Dell PowerVault SANS same models at both sites shared storage for datastores
One Veeam B&R server for backups currently at Main stie 2 Synology nas to backup to one for main site the other for DR site

Are there any how to step by step with best practice articles or videos (preferable)

Lot of questions:

Do we spin up 2 new vms Site A and Site B DR to deploy?
What spec do you recommend for them ? I was thinking 4CPU , 16GB Memory, 120GB hdd space /thin provisioned
What order do we install VRO premium? I know there is a certain order when updating products?
Can we use Veeam Enterprise manager so we can control and see both sites? Is this recommended?

Can this be setup so if site A (Main Site) goes down then user can 1-Click the failover process so that Site B (DR site) can now run the business ?
Once Site A is backup we then failback to them 1-Click and all comes back up?

I know there is alot of planning and configuration of the IP's and Re IP's but will the user have to do any of this on the FB making the 1-Click process more involved ?

Once client gets VRO premium license is consulting provide on the setup process since support is just break fix right?
Any consultants/recommendations on this site willing to assist?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

When deploying VRO you have the option to orchestrate replica failover, storage failover, and restore-from-backup. If customer has 2 'always-on' sites and wants a fast & simple failover and failback then I would recommend replication, although restore can also be fast if instant VM recovery is enabled.

You would probably only deploy a single VRO server, best practice would place it on the DR site. For sizing I recommend to read our Deployment Guide

I would also recommend you reach out to your local Veeam team for assistance. They may also be able to recommend a consulting partner. Hope that helps!
