Awanio Disaster Recovery Manager
Awanio Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM) coordinates virtual-machine disaster recovery across paired Awanio Cockpit sites.
What Awanio Disaster Recovery Manager is
Awanio Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM) coordinates virtual-machine disaster recovery across paired Awanio Cockpit sites. Administrators enroll VMs for scheduled disk replication, selecting a recovery site, datastore, recovery-point objective (RPO), retention settings, and traffic compression. The first sync copies the full disk; later transfers copy changed blocks. Recovery plans group workloads into ordered runbooks with priority groups and boot delays. Plans are copied to the recovery site as read-only versions that can run if the primary site is lost. DRM supports isolated test failover, planned migration, emergency failover, reprotection, and failback. Test failover boots a workload copy on an isolated network without changing production. Emergency failover uses the latest completed recovery point, so data written afterward may be lost. Deployment requires two sites, each with Cockpit and at least one Vapor host, administrator access to both DRM consoles, and inter-site connectivity on ports 7770, 7771, and 7772. Orchestrated recovery also requires the Disaster Recovery entitlement at both sites and a DRM license or active trial. Pricing is on request; the time-limited trial covers a small number of protected workloads, with its duration and limit unspecified.
Good
- Schedules disk replication between paired sites
- Groups workloads into ordered recovery runbooks
- Includes isolated test failover and planned migration
- Can reverse replication for failback
Watch out
- Requires two sites with Cockpit and Vapor hosts
- Orchestrated recovery requires entitlements and a license or trial
- Emergency failover can lose data after the latest recovery point
- Changing a recovery target requires disabling and reenrolling replication
Who it suits
It suits administrators protecting virtual machines across paired sites, especially when they need to recover workloads in coordinated groups. Deployment requires Cockpit and a Vapor host at each site, plus the listed access, network connectivity, and licensing.
Verdict
DRM coordinates replication and recovery for virtual machines across paired Awanio sites, with test failover, migration, and failback options. Check the deployment and licensing prerequisites, and consider the possible loss of data written after the latest completed recovery point.

What it does
- Deployment prerequisites
- A deployment requires two sites, each running Cockpit and at least one Vapor host, plus administrator access to both sites.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Deployment requirements
- A deployment requires two sites, each running Cockpit and at least one Vapor host, administrator access to both DRM consoles, and inter-site connectivity on ports 7770, 7771, and 7772.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Failback
- After failover, DRM can reverse replication toward the original site and later return the workload there through planned failback.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Failover limitation
- Emergency failover uses the latest completed recovery point, so data written after that point can be lost.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Failover modes
- DRM supports non-disruptive test failover, planned migration, and emergency failover from the latest completed recovery point.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Failover rehearsal
- Test failover boots a workload copy in an isolated network while leaving the production VM untouched.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Incremental sync
- The initial replication is a full disk copy and later syncs transfer only changed blocks.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Integration
- DRM connects to each site's Cockpit console, while Cockpit coordinates replication performed directly between Vapor hosts.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Integrations
- DRM manages its local site through Cockpit, while Vapor performs disk replication and boots recovered virtual machines.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Intended use
- Awanio describes DRM as useful for protecting many workloads and recovering them as ordered groups, while Cockpit's Replication tab can manage a single VM directly.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Intended users
- The documentation describes a site-level tool for administrators protecting and recovering virtual machines across paired sites.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Licensing
- Orchestrated recovery requires the Disaster Recovery entitlement enabled on Cockpit at both sites and a DRM license or active trial.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Monitoring
- The DRM Overview reports aggregate recovery health while the Workloads view shows per-workload replication status and recovery-point age.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Network requirements
- The guide specifies inter-site connectivity on ports 7770 for Vapor replication, 7771 for Cockpit pairing and orchestration, and 7772 for DRM recovery-plan replication.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Notable limitation
- To move a workload to a different recovery site or datastore, replication must be disabled and the workload re-enrolled with the new target.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Purpose
- DRM orchestrates virtual-machine disaster recovery across paired Awanio Cockpit sites.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Recovery lifecycle
- From one console, DRM coordinates test failover, planned migration, emergency failover, reprotect, and failback.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Recovery site execution
- A recovery site's DRM can execute a replicated read-only recovery plan if the primary site is lost.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Replication
- It enrolls VMs for scheduled disk replication from a primary site to a recovery site, with configurable RPO, recovery-point retention, and traffic compression.checked 7 Oct 2026
- Replication settings
- Workload enrollment lets administrators choose a recovery site and datastore, an RPO, retained recovery points, and traffic compression.checked 7 Oct 2026
