| 13 | +# Deprecation of disaster recovery between customer-managed sites (with VMM) using Azure Site Recovery |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +This article describes the upcoming deprecation plan, the corresponding implications, and the alternative options available for the customers for the following scenario: |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +DR between customer owned sites managed by System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) using Site Recovery |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +> [!IMPORTANT] |
| 20 | +> Customers are advised to take the remediation steps at the earliest to avoid any disruption to their environment. |
| 21 | +
|
| 22 | +## What changes should you expect? |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +- Starting November 2019, no new user on-boardings will be allowed for these scenarios. **Existing replications and management operations** including failover, test failover, monitoring etc. **will not be impacted**. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +- If you have an existing configuration, you will not be able to register new VMMs. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +- Once the scenarios are deprecated unless the customer follows the alternate approaches, the existing replications may get disrupted. Customers won't be able to view, manage, or performs any DR-related operations via the Azure Site Recovery experience in Azure portal. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Alternatives |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Below are the alternatives that the customer can choose from to ensure that their DR strategy is not impacted once the scenario is deprecated. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +- Option 1 (Recommended): Choose to [start using Azure as the DR target for VMs on Hyper-V hosts](hyper-v-azure-tutorial.md). |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + > [!IMPORTANT] |
| 37 | + > Note that your on-premises environment can still have SCVMMM, but you'll configure ASR with references to only the Hyper-V hosts. |
| 38 | +
|
| 39 | +- Option 2: Choose to continue with site-to-site replication using the underlying [Hyper-V Replica solution](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/manage/set-up-hyper-v-replica), but you will be unable to manage DR configurations using Azure Site Recovery in the Azure portal. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +## Remediation steps |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +If you are choosing to go with Option 1, please execute the following steps: |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +1. [Disable protection of all the virtual machines associated with the VMMs](site-recovery-manage-registration-and-protection.md#disable-protection-for-a-hyper-v-virtual-machine-replicating-to-secondary-vmm-server-using-the-system-center-vmm-to-vmm-scenario). Use the **Disable replication and remove** option or run the scripts mentioned to ensure the replication settings on-premises are cleaned up. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +2. [Unregister all the VMM servers](site-recovery-manage-registration-and-protection.md#unregister-a-vmm-server) |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +3. [Prepare Azure resources](tutorial-prepare-azure-for-hyperv.md) for enabling replication of your VMs. |
| 51 | +4. [Prepare on-premises Hyper-V servers](hyper-v-prepare-on-premises-tutorial.md) |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +> [!IMPORTANT] |
| 54 | +> Note that you don't need to execute the steps under prepare VMM. |
| 55 | +
|
| 56 | +5. [Set up replication for the VMs](hyper-v-azure-tutorial.md) |
| 57 | +6. Optional but recommended: [Run a DR drill](tutorial-dr-drill-azure.md) |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +If you are choosing to go with Option 2 of using Hyper-V replica, execute the following steps: |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +1. In **Protected Items** > **Replicated Items**, right-click the machine > **Disable replication**. |
| 62 | +2. In **Disable replication**, select **Remove**. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + This removes the replicated item from Azure Site Recovery (billing is stopped). Replication configuration on the on-premises virtual machine **will not** be cleaned up. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +## Next steps |
| 67 | +Plan for the deprecation and choose an alternate option that's best suited for your infrastructure and business. In case you have any queries regarding this, reach out to Microsoft Support |
