VMware SRM seems to be right choice for most of the time, but these clients are decided to bring it to another level of fail over procedure during the DR happen. I am doing some research today and found this interesting topic from Netapp which the Metro cluster suppose to synchronize from production to DR through dark fiber to prevent controller failure, DR or disk corruption.

If the bandwidth is not a concern in this case, ESX HA cluster through both data center is workable with Netapp metro cluster. In the event of disaster happen, the VM should be restarted as the normal HA kick in from the ESX cluster.

you can read more information from the link here.
