Password protected storage arrays
If your environment implements password security on the storage arrays, modify the SraConfigurationData.xml le to
prompt for the storage array password. To modify the le, complete the following tasks:
1. Edit C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager\storage\sra\ MD\cong\SraCongurationData.xml
le.
2. Locate the<PasswordRequiredForArrayAccess> tag.
3. Change the default value of "false" to "true".
4. Save the le changes, and then rescan SRAs within SRM Array Manager.
NOTE: All storage arrays must utilize the same security measures. If one storage array has a password set, the peer
storage array must also have the password set. Mixed authentication mode is not supported by the SRA.
<!--
configure how array access is performed.
when true, a password is prompted for once and
then used for all array access
-->
<PasswordRequiredForArrayAccess>true</PasswordRequiredForArrayAccess>
