width=\"300\" height=\"99\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I realized today that I have not actually blogged yet about the Tintri Synchronous Replication feature that was released a few months back.\u00a0 I decided to jump back into the lab to show people just how easy this is to use.\u00a0 What Tintri has built it&#8217;s base on has always been ease of use, and to be honest this feature is no different.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s take a look at just how easy it is to configure and use.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The Basic Steps<\/h2>\n<p>For you to configure and use Tintri Synchronous Replication, like the SRM setup I detailed previously it&#8217;s a few simple steps.\u00a0 This will require the use of Tintri Global Center 3.7 or higher to implement.\u00a0 I suggest you read the Tintri Global Center admin guide for latency requirements and other considerations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a Tintri Service Group using &#8220;Option 2&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Mount the sub folder created on vSphere hosts\n<ul>\n<li>Use the Cluster IP and sub folder path<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Move or deploy virtual machines to the datastore<\/li>\n<li>Monitor the groups replication in Tintri Global Center<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tintri Service Groups<\/h2>\n<p>The first thing to look at is something I wrote a couple of weeks ago to <a href=\"http:\/\/chriscolotti.us\/vmware\/understanding-the-different-tintri-service-group-options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">understand the difference between the Tintri Service Groups<\/a>.\u00a0 The reason is there is some differences between how they are used and where they are configured.\u00a0 For the sake of this I will assume you&#8217;ve got the understanding of the different ones.\u00a0 Bear in mind Tintri is hoping to converge these in the future to make things easier.\u00a0 The first thing you need to do is create a new Tintri Service Group and run through the six simple steps.\u00a0 Remember this Tintri Service Group today cannot be used with SRM those are configured separately.<\/p>\n<p>First just give the group a name<\/p>\n<p><a

default folder you won&#8217;t see anything.\u00a0 This is by design which is access denied, and the only way to see the virtual machine files is via the new datastore.\u00a0 At this point there is nothing you really need to do.\u00a0 You can pause replication or failover from the group settings.\u00a0 Here we can see there is one virtual machine in my new service group which was deployed to the
