Configuring Storage Array Managers
Once the protected and recovery sites are connected (for more information refer to the topic Connect Recovery and
Protected Sites), the storage array managers on both sites must be configured so that SRM can discover remotely
replicated data and devices, manage datastore groups and perform storage operations.
In this step, you will provide information to the storage array manager detailing:
• SRA type and display name
• Storage array connection information and passwords (if used) for both the protected and recovery sites
NOTE: Typically, storage array managers do not need to be re-configured unless connection information,
passwords or storage array components change.
To configure the storage array managers on both sites:
1. From the Getting Started tab or Array Managers view, choose Add an Array Manager.
Figure 13. Add Array Manager
2. Enter the Display Name for the protected site's storage array. Then, click Next.
3. In the Storage Arrays Connection Params section:
a. For IP Addr 1, enter the IP address of the MD storage array's RAID controller 0.
b. For IP Addr 2, enter the IP address of the MD storage array's RAID controller 1.
4. In the Peer Storage Arrays Connection Params section:
a. For IP Addr 1, enter the IP address of the replicated MD storage array's RAID controller 0.
b. For IP Addr 2, enter the IP address of the replicated MD storage array's RAID controller 1.
