Logical Order API Usage
This chapter contains the following major sections:
"Connecting to an SRM Server" on page 19
"Protection Groups and Replication" on page 22
"Recovery Plans and Reprotection" on page 26
"vSphere Replication Methods" on page 31
Protection and Recovery Plans
You use the UI to create protection groups and set up replication, or to create recovery plans and reprotection.
The API does not contain methods for these. For details about the UI, see the SRM Administration Guide.
Connecting to an SRM Server
Programs connect to an SRM server using the SrmLoginLocale API, or to SRM servers at both the protected
site and the recovery site using the SrmLoginSites API.
Managed Object Reference
SRM methods take a managed object reference _this, which references the SessionManager used for making
method calls. Programs obtain _this by retrieving content of the ServiceInstance, which is accomplished by
creating a new managed object reference of type SrmServiceInstance.
Example 3-1. C# code to create SrmServiceInstance
public SvcConnection(string svcRefVal)
{
...
_svcRef = new ManagedObjectReference();
_svcRef.type = "SrmServiceInstance";
_svcRef.Value = svcRefVal;
}
The Java code is similar to the C# code.
Example 3-2. Java code to create SrmServiceInstance
private static final String SVC_INST_NAME = "SrmServiceInstance";
private static ManagedObjectReference SVC_INST_REF = new ManagedObjectReference();
...
SVC_INST_REF.setType(SVC_INST_NAME);
SVC_INST_REF.setValue(SVC_INST_NAME);
srmService = new SrmService();
