After SRA is installed, rescan for SRAs from the Site Recovery manager in the vSphere Client.

Password-protected storage arrays

If your environment implements password security on the storage arrays, modify the

SraConfigurationData.xml file to prompt for the storage array password.

To modify the files:

1. Edit the SraConfigurationData.xml file available at C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware

vCenter Site Recovery Manager\storage\sra\Dell\config\SraConfigurationData.xml

2. Locate the <PasswordRequiredForArrayAccess> tag.

3. Change the default value of false to true.

4. Save the file changes.

NOTE: All storage arrays must utilize the same security measures. If one storage array has a

password set, then the peer storage array must also have the password set. SRA does not

support Mixed authentication mode.
