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. The protection site is the site that is being replicated to
the recovery site for disaster recovery. Each site contains a HP P4000 SAN Solution, ESX servers,
a Virtual Center Server, and a SRM server.

Requirements
SAN/iQ release 9.5
64-bit Windows OS
.Net 3.5 will be installed if not present
VMware vCenter running on two sites

Installing SRA

First install the VMware SRM at each site, and then install the HP P4000 SRA on the SRM server
at each site. Once the HP P4000 SRA is installed, SRM can discover replicated volumes between
sites by configuring arrays in SRM. Configuring HP P4000 SAN Solution arrays in SRM requires
the following:
The IP addresses of the SAN/iQ managers. More than two addresses can be input by using
a comma or semicolon separator.
The same user name and password in each site. This is the administrative user name and
password configured in the CMC for the HP P4000 SAN.
The user at the recovery site must have full permissions on the management group but can be
limited to read only on all other permissions.
