Azure Site Recovery Move Load between Process Server

Hi,

We implement Azure Site Recovery for VMware and successfully perform DR drill activity.
Currently we are in failback activity (still replicate the VM), but performance is slow.

I found that customer didn't use VM temporary in Azure as process server, instead they use Configuration server as process server reside in on-premise.
Based on the document, best practices is to use VM temporary in Azure to have better performance when replicate back to on-premise.

We plan to deploy new temporary process in Azure, and move the replication traffic to that server. Does it will reset the synchronization process? or it just continue? Currently the replication at 54%.

Kindly advice,

Thank you.

    Hello @Lugina Muhammad Welcome to Microsoft Q&A community forum!

    Moving to a new PS requires a resynchronization, and while you won’t be exactly at the same point you left off from, I don’t think you will need to start from the beginning on this. Likely we will need to rescan the target disks and understand what data still needs to be transferred, and you will lose any data that hasn’t yet been pulled from the original PS and applied to the target disks already.

    In short, you aren’t starting from square one, but it will add some additional time in because it needs to start the resync process over again. This can be done assuming the re-protect completed and we are in synchronization. Its just a Process Server load balance. It will behave exactly as described, resynchronization to send deltas between source and target, essentially picking up from where the other left off + any deltas.

    Hope this helps!
