1 Using the HP P4000 SRA for VMware SRM 5 The HP P4000 SRA for VMware SRM enables full featured use of the VMware Site Recovery Manager. Combining Remote Copy replication with VMware SRM provides an automated solution for implementing and testing disaster recovery between geographically separated sites. Configuring SRA A typical SRM configuration involves two geographically separated sites with TCP/IP connectivity, the protection site and the recovery site. -

Installing Application Aware Snapshot Manager (optional) Install and configure Application Aware Snapshot Manager on both Primary and Remote site VCenter servers. For installation instructions, see HP P4000 Application-Aware Snapshot Manager Deployment Guide The replication schedule controls the application aware snapshot integration. If the schedule has managed enabled then that enables the application managed snapshot integration, where in SRA takes managed snapshots in syncOnce and reports to SRM the recovery points with VM snapshots using VmImageConsistencyEnabled flag. -

IMPORTANT: A volume in the protected site should not have two or more schedules going to multiple volumes on the same remote Management Group. Volumes ignored by the HP P4000 SRA Remote snapshots within the same HP P4000 SAN Solution management group are ignored. These snapshots are not considered disaster recovery copies since they are usually created to clone a volume in the HP P4000 SAN Solution, and copies that reside on the same SAN are not useful for disaster recovery. - Page 6 Troubleshooting the HP P4000 SRA Table 1 Troubleshooting the HP P4000 SRA Problem Cause Solution The HP P4000 SAN array does not The HP P4000 SRA might not be Install the HP P4000 SRA and restart appear in the drop down list of arrays installed or the SRM service has not the VMware Site Recovery Manager for SRM.

- Page 8 Volumes recognized by the HP P4000 SRA Volumes must be configured with scheduled remote snapshots or they will not be considered for SRM by the SRA. The HP P4000 SRA recognizes the scheduled remote snapshots as replicated LUNs for SRM to manage. Volumes that are being remote copied only manually are not updated consistently enough to be useful for disaster recovery and SRM.
