If the environment mandates that you use VMware SRM with TPC-R, configure the
SRA for the pre-configured environment (by using IBMDS8000SRAUtil.exe).
When initiated from SRM, the test failover operation (or practice test) works
independently of TPC-R. Therefore, SRA does not try to detect an existing TPC-R
installation in the environment. The test failover task on SRM and practice tests on
TPC-R must be scheduled and run at different times if both software works on the
same Global Mirror session. If the environment is set up such that TPC-R and SRM
work on different Global Mirror sessions, then the restriction does not apply.
For a real failover (recovery), if TPC-R and SRM must co-exist and work on the
same Global Mirror session, then TPC-R recovery must be initiated first. After the
user confirms the successful recovery of volumes by TPC-R, the SRM failover can
be initiated.
The TPC-R option is enabled when SRA is set to Pre-Configured. Click the TPC-R
check box to enable TPC-R support. A warning message box is displayed. See
