Figure 1 Typical SRM configuration with two geographically separate sites Installing SRA First install the VMware SRM at each site, and then install the HP StorageWorks P4000 SRA on the SRM server at each site. Once the HP StorageWorks P4000 SRA is installed, SRM can discover replicated volumes between sites by configuring arrays in SRM.
A user name and a password for each site. NOTE: This is the HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN user name and password as configured in the CMC. The user at the recovery site must have full permissions on the management group but can be limited to read only on all other permissions.
Remote snapshots within the same HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN Solution management group are ignored. These snapshots are not considered disaster recovery copies since they are usually created to clone a volume in the HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN Solution, and copies that reside on the same SAN are not useful for disaster recovery.
Actual failover at the recovery site In the event of a disaster, the SRM can perform actual failover when requested to. When actual failover is requested the HP StorageWorks P4000 SRA will perform the steps listed. Select the replicated volumes.
