Chapter 4. Configuration

IBM DS8000 SRA works with Metro Mirror, Global Mirror (with or without master
and subordinate), Metro-Global Mirror, and IBM Tivoli
Center for Replication Coexistence.
A shortcut that is named IBMDS8000SRAUtil.exe is created on the desktop during
the DS8000 SRA installation.
Important: The configuration utility is used to configure the SRA. The
configuration takes effect on the site where the utility runs.
Double-clicking the shortcut brings up the Utility panel.

The Configuration Utility must be set up before you configure SRM with the array.
Preconfigured and Non-preconfigured environments
The environment can be a preconfigured environment or a non-preconfigured
environment. A preconfigured environment is one that requires storage admin to
create the backup target volumes and map the volumes to the VMware ESX
servers at the recovery site, in advance. A non-preconfigured environment is one
that SRA automatically creates and maps snapshot volumes during test failover
and backup target volume operations.
