The Azure VM-recommended size for each on-premises VM.The number of Azure cores to be set up before test failover or failover on the subscription.The storage-account placement for all VMs.Storage-account naming suggestions, based on Azure Storage guidance.The total number of standard and premium storage accounts to be set up for replication.

The storage type (standard or premium storage account) requirement for each VM.The recommended bandwidth in Deployment planner is applicable only for compatible Hyper-V VMs. Impact on the desired RPO if lower bandwidth is provisioned.RPO that can be achieved for a given bandwidth.The throughput that Azure Site Recovery can get from on-premises to Azure.The estimated network bandwidth that's required for delta replication.Network bandwidth need versus RPO assessment VM eligibility assessment, based on number of disks, disk size, IOPS, churn, and few VM characteristics.However, to get accurate achieved throughput results, we recommend that you run the planner on a Windows Server that has the same hardware configuration as that of one of the Hyper-V servers that you will use to enable disaster recovery protection to Azure. You can run the tool without installing any Azure Site Recovery components on-premises. You can remotely profile your Hyper-V VMs present on multiple Hyper-V hosts using this tool (with no production impact whatsoever) to understand the bandwidth and Azure storage requirements for successful replication and test failover / failover. The Azure Site Recovery deployment planner is a command-line tool for both Hyper-V to Azure and VMware to Azure disaster recovery scenarios. You choose the storage type per VM, based on workload characteristics, for example, read/write I/O operations per second (IOPS), or data churn, and Azure Site Recovery limits. You create either standard or premium storage accounts, factoring in growth on your source production servers because of increased usage over time. You also need to create the right type and number of target Azure storage accounts. This article is the Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner user guide for Hyper-V-to-Azure production deployments.īefore you begin protecting any Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs) using Site Recovery, allocate sufficient bandwidth based on your daily data-change rate to meet your desired Recovery Point Objective (RPO), and allocate sufficient free storage space on each volume of Hyper-V storage on-premises.
