VMware is about to launch a new course. It’s the long awaited SRM 5 training which will be most likely available in the first quarter of 2012. This new 3 day training course replaces the current 1.0 version which is a very welcome update. SRM 5 is still in beta, but there’s a datasheet available at this link.
This three-day, hands-on training course equips experienced VMware vSphere administrators with the knowledge to install, configure, and manage VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5.0. This course also equips vSphere administrators with the knowledge to assist in disaster planning and to test disaster recovery plans with SRM. At the end of the course, you should gain an understanding of the functionality in SRM 5.0 and be able to do the following:
• Install SRM 5.0
• Configure placeholder datastores
• Configure inventory mappings in SRM
• Configure datastore mappings
• Replicate virtual machines using physical couriering
• Configure vSphere replication-based protection groups in SRM
• Create, edit, execute, test, and remove a recovery plan in SRM
• Reprotect virtual machines
• Configure SRM alarms
• Troubleshoot SRM problems
