Maximum disk size for azure site recovery

Hi everyone,
I am looking into Azure Site Recovery, and I can't seem to find the maximum disk size I would be able to replicate into Azure.  I have read some articles saying that 1TB is the maximum size, and some people have said that it is 64TB!! I have a File
Server that I would like to protect which is 4TB in size, and if the limit is 1TB I think it is very limiting...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks.

Hello Robert,
The current size limits for a VM replicating to Azure are :
For an OS VHD (the vhd that has the OS Installation) : 127 GB
For a Data VHD  (<1 TB)
Is the size of your file server running on a single 4 TB volume?

Hi Anoop,
Our File Server is currently running on a single 4TB volume.  Do I have any options with regards to replicating this VM to Azure using Site Recovery?
Many thanks.

  • How to allocate disk size for each user in iMac?

    Hi folks,
    I have iMac (Mac OS X, version 10.7.5) for Family, and each of my family member has account on it.
    Now, kids download many large files (several GB size files) and HD is getting full.
    So, I'd like to set maximum disk size for each user.
    Could you prvide instruction how to configure disk size for each user?
    Regards,
    Hiro

    I don't know of any way to do that by user.
    I used to partition my HD and that sets a hard limit by partition, but by user? I don't think it can be done.

  • Azure Site Recovery for HA workloads?

    Can Azure Site recovery be used for HA workloads?
    To my understanding Azure Site Recovery leverages Hyper-V Replica. What if my on-premises clouds are hosting HA SQL AlwaysOn cluster workloads?
    Thanks!

    Hello Quivver,
    Thanks for your query. Can you clarify if you are using SQL Always On Availability Groups or Failover Cluster Instance (FCI). If you are already using SQL Always On Availability Groups, we will recommend using the same to replicate SQL databases to DR site
    and using Azure Site Recovery to protect the app tier VMs and create a Recovery Plan to failover the entire Application.
    If you are using FCI instances then they cannot be replicated using Hyper-V Replica. We recommend enabling SQL log shipping or Availability group and orchestrating that with ASR recovery plan.
    Thanks,

  • Azure Site Recovery to Azure - cost for data transfer and storage

    Hello,
    I send you this message on behalf of a small firm in Greece interested to implement Azure Site Recovery to Azure.
    We have one VM (Windows 2008 R2 Small Business Server) with 2 VHDs (100GB VHD for OS and 550GB VHD for Data) on a Windows 2012 server Std Edition.
    I would like to ask you a few questions about the cost of the data transfer and the storage 
    First: About the initial replication of the VHDs to Azure. It will be 650GBs. Is it free as inbound traffic? If not the Azure Pricing calculator shows about 57€. But there is also the import/export option which costs about the same:
    https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/storage-import-export/
    What would be the best solution for our case? Please advice.
    Second: What kind of storage is required for the VHDs fo the VM (650GBs). My guess is Blob storage. For this storage locally redundant, the cost will be about 12-13€/month. Please verify.
    Third: Is the bandwidth for the replication of our VM to Azure free?
    That's all for now.
    Thank you in advance.
    Kind regards
    Harry Arsenidis 

    Hi Harry,
    1st question response: ASR doesn't support Storage Import/Export for seeding the initial replication storage. ASR pricing can be found
    here which details about 100GB of Azure replication & storage per VM is included with the purchase of the ASR to Azure subscription SKU through the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement. 
    Data transfer pricing
    here  indicates that inbound data transfers are free.
    As of now only option will be online replication. What is the current current network link type & bandwidth to Azure? Can you vote for the feature & update requirements here?
    2nd question response: A storage account with geo-redundancy is required. But as mentioned earlier with Microsoft Enterprise Agreement you will get 100GB of Azure replication & storage per VM included with ASR. 
    3rd question response: Covered as part earlier queries.

  • Microsoft Azure Site Recovery VM Metadate Replication

    Hello,
    We are in a process of investigating azure site recovery for On-Premise to azure replication, but we have seen strange behavior with our VM's after the initial replication.
    We installed a new VM with single disk .vhdx (containing the operating system only) with the size of 127 Gb as the default suggests, and we started replicating the VM to Azure. in the meantime we decided to add a second disk .vhdx file with 200GB in size
    and we figure that the replication will include the second .vhdx file (second disk) but it did not.
    the way we figured it out is by doing a failover test and we have seen that the second disk is missing, the only option of replicating the changes was by removing the replication and than adding it back, it seems that only the initial replication
    takes the metadata of the VM, is it by design?
    Ilan Saadi

    Hi Ilan,
    Your observation is correct; only during enabling the protecting we read the disk metadata and replicate.
    Currently we don't support replicating newly added disk to a protected virtual machine; this is part of the backlog and would request you to update the feature with your specific requirement details
    here.
    Regards

  • Azure Site Recovery vs. Manual Failover?

    Hi all-
    I am designing a Windows Server 2012 R2 DR scenario using Hyper-V replica.
    Environment:
    Site A:  Primary Server (HP DL380 using DAS with Gen2 / VHDX VMs).  System Center VMM 2012 R2 management server and console installed on this Hyper-V host.  SQL database for SCVMM placed in one of the VMs on this host.
    Site B:  Replica Server (Identical HP DL380).
    Approximately 10Mbps WAN connection interconnecting the sites.
    I need to provide DR for approximately 5-6 VMs.  These will be running standard MS apps like SQL, SharePoint, etc.
    I am wondering if it's worthwhile to use Azure Site Recovery to orchestrate a small DR scenario like this or whether, due to its small size, I am better off just planning to use manual failover.
    Also, if I DO elect to use Azure site recovery, do I need to install the full SCVMM 2012 R2 Server and Console on the server, or will a management agent from the Primary Server do the trick?  If a full installation, I'm assuming I will need a full instance
    of SQL Server to host a separate database at Site B.  Am I correct?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Azure Site Recovery is awesome, and I will recommend it to all who has a environment that supports it. If all prerequisites is met, it's simple to enable and manage :)
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/dn469078.aspx (Prerequisites and support)
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/hyper-v-recovery-manager-configure-vault/
    You can replicate between two clouds on the same on-site VMM server. So if you place your VMM service so it will not fail if your Hyper-V host does, you should be fine :)
    Anyway, if you are fare away from the prerequisites, you might be better of by implementing the built-in Hyper-V Replica service, and the take the step to Azure Site Recovery when you have time.
    Best of luck in your project!

  • Hyper-V VM not showing up in Azure Site Recovery

    Hello,
    I'm trying to set up Azure Site Recovery as "On-Premise Hyper-V site to Azure" - so without VMM.
    So far I've followed the steps from here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn879142.aspx up
    to Step 5. That's where I'm stuck.
    Wen trying to set up protection for my VMs Azure is not recognizing my on premise VMs although there is one running on my Hypervisor: http://i.imgur.com/h8TnV46.png
    The Hypervisor got recognized within the Hyper-V site and the Recovery Services Agent and Site Recovery Service are running on my Hypervisor.
    The Hypervisor's event log (Microsoft -> Azure Site Recovery -> Provider -> Operational) shows that replication is triggered every 15 minutes as configured in Azure but no changes are commited to Azure.
    My Hypervisor is a freshly installed Windows 2012 R2. Not domain joined, no proxies. Firewall disabled.

  • Maximum file size for export into MP4?

    Hello,
    I am not able to export 2 hour HD video into standard MP4 file. It seems that reaching 100% export algorithm gets into loop. I was waiting for hours and still had seen progress at exactly 100% with final file size on hard disk to be 0 bytes. I am using CS5 on MAC OS X. I had to split my timeline to 2 parts and to export them separately (which is embarrasing). Is there something like maximum file size for export? I guess that 2h video would have about 25-35GB.
    Thank you
    jiri

    You are right.
    So I am running AP Pro 5.0.4, Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.1.0 (64bit). Operating system Mac OS X ver 10.7.3. All applications are up to date.
    MacBook Pro Intel i5 2.53GB, 8GB RAM, nVidia GT 330M 256 MB, 500GB HDD
    Video is 1920x1080 (AVCHD) 25fps in a .MTS container  (major part of timeline), 1280x720 30fps in .MOV container (2mins), Still images 4000x3000 in .JPG
    No error message is generated during export - everything finishes without any problem...just file created has 0 byte size (as described above).
    This is my largest video project (1h 54min) I dont have any other problem with other projects.
    I dont run any other special software, at the moment of export all usual applications are closed so that MacBook "power" can go to Media Encoder. No codecs installed, using VLC Player or Quick Time.
    Attached please find printscreen from Export settings (AP Pro). Writing this ppost I tried to export only the first 4mins from timeline where all kind of media is used...and it was OK.
    As a next step I will try to export (same settings) 1h 30mins as I still believe problem comes with length of video exported.
    Let me know your opinion

  • Maximum HD size for MDD G4?

    Hi there
    I had a real pain in the proverbial when trying to do a clean install of Panther (or Tiger) on a 1Ghz G4 on a new 200 Gb HD. There were instablilities, Hands on shout down/restarts, etc, before running any updates or 3rd party apps.
    Is there a maximum HD size for these Macs? It came with a 80Gb HD.
    Thanks for any help...

    Some RAM that worked under prior versions of OS X has been known to fail. Tiger makes much more use of all available RAM for cache is part of the reason. Memtest would give it a good workout overnight.
    MDDs support Cable Select, it depends in part on the IDE cable itself. In fact, you could use it on older Macs and controllers most of the time.
    Never apply an update without first doing a backup and some disk repair and maintenance. Even flushing the cache folders with something like Applejack. Never use your Mac while an update is taking place. Reboot prior to applying an update, might want to use Safe Boot Mode. And use the standalone updates, and the combo update if possible. On some occasions it was necessary to reapply the combo update.
    With Tiger, I found that while it was possible to update, a full erase and install resulted in a better OS. So backup.
    If you keep your home directory or backup on another drive, so much the easier and better.

  • Maximum message size for internal users

    Hi,
    Is it possible to configure a maximum message size for internal users and also create exceptions?
    The templates available in Transport Rules only allow for "when size of any attachment is greater or equal". This is not ideal as users can add 50 X 1MB attachaments to an email etc.
    Configuring Transport settings or Receive Connectors do not allow for exceptions.
    Thank you.

    Hi Prakash,
    Thanks for the link to the thread. The AD site link configuration is valid but does not account for the required exceptions. E.g User A can send unlimited size message to User B but not to User C.
    The thread also mentions the Transport Rule configuration stated in my original post but that configuration has one major flaw. Users can circumvent the control by splitting attachments.

    Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
    As suggested above I assume this is a microsoft issue?  It has been discussed here and other forums for quite some time.  I never have seen a fix?  I wish when we received errors of this nature microsoft would tell us what they were.  How is this related to superfetch?  What is superfetch?  Why would superfetch have changed?
    BY THE WAY....  Superfetch is on(started) is on automatic and logs on as local system.  So this is not the cause of my issue.  Also what is readyboot?  Does the average computer really know what these programs/services or unique microsoft words/terms are?

  • Can I see the list of Event's Notification types of Azure Site Recovery ?

    Can I see the list of Event's Notification types of Azure Site Recovery ?
    I want to verify Event's Notifications rather than "Virtual machine health is OK".
    Example senarios:
    senario 1. Disconnect the Ethernet cable.
      Can I get the notification e-mail at Disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the on-premises Hyper-V host ?
    senario 2. Turn off

    senario 3. e-mail test
      Can I get the notification e-mail after turning on Event Notification ?
      Is e-mail address Collect ?
      Can I get e-mail without auto-Junk ?

    Hi Yoshihiro Kawabata,
    Thanks for bringing these requests to our attention. We currently do not have support for these three types of email notifications. I will add them to our backlog and we will enable support for them soon.
    Currently, we support email notifications only for replication issues. One example you can easily test is to Pause the replication of a virtual machine from the Hyper-V Manager UI. This should send an email notification.
    Let me know if this helps.
    Thanks

  • Maximum disk size?

    That's the maximum disk size or volume size supported? Thanks for any insights.

    The maximum volume size, and file size, in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, is close to 8 EB (exabyte, or 10**18 bytes). The actual number is 2**63 - 2**31.

  • Azure site recovery Gen 2 VM support

    Why does Azure site recovery not support gen 2 VMs? When is support planned for Gen 2?

    Gen-2 VM support, as of today, is closely tied to the Hypervisor version (WS 2012 R2). When failing over the VM in Azure, the underlying hypervisor needs to support this capability (which isn't the case today) - we have heard this feedback from our customers
    and trying to find ways to unblock this. You can "vote" for this requirement @
