HP StorageWorks SVSP Virtualization Adapter for VMware Site Recovery Manager Application Notes (5697-0319, March 2010)

NOTE:

In this document,

array manager

is a Site Recovery Manager term referring to the two VSM servers

for each domain being mirrored. The two array managers are the protected site array manager and

the recovery site array manager. The protected site storage array is the HP SVSP system on the primary

site. The recovery site array manager is the HP SVSP system on the secondary site. The IP address of

each VSM server is needed for the sites.

1. In the initial SRA window, next to each array manager, click Configure.

2. Select the protection side storage array.

3. Click Add to configure the new array manager.

4. Enter all of the necessary information, and click Connect. Site Recovery Manager finds the SVSP

storage using SRA’s discover Arrays command.

5. Click OK to invoke the discover LUNs command.

6. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to add the array manager (VSM IPs) for the recovery site. Site Recovery

Manager makes sure that the two storage arrays are mirrored, and shows the resulting LUN

count in a green color with a check mark.

7. Review the replicated datastores information. The Final screen shows the list of found LUNs and

their mirrored counterparts.

Array managers have to be successfully configured before protection groups can be configured.

Sometimes existing array managers do not refresh correctly. If this problem occurs, click the Rescan

option on the final page to find the array managers again.

If you view the Site Recovery window for the secondary site, you might find that the array managers

show as not configured. Only the primary site shows the datastores on that site.

Creating an inventory mapping

Inventory mappings specify the corresponding device or service on the recovery site to which the

protected site device or service will fail over. Configuring inventory mappings is optional. However,

if these mappings are not specified at this time, you must configure inventory mappings for each

protected VM individually.
