Configuring SRA for disaster recovery : Configuring SRA using array manager


Configuring SRA using array manager
You can configure Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) by using the Array Manager wizard of Site Recovery Manager (SRM) to enable interactions between SRM and storage virtual machines (SVMs).
Before you begin 
Virtual Storage Console, VASA Provider, and Storage Replication Adapter for VMware vSphere Deployment and Setup Guide for 7.2 release
You must have enabled SVM management LIFs to enable multitenancy.
About this task 
SRA supports cluster-level management and SVM-level management. If you add storage at a cluster level, then you can discover and perform operations on all of the SVMs in the cluster. If you add storage at an SVM level, then you can manage only that specific SVM.
Note: VMware does not support NFS4.1 protocol for SRM.
Steps 
1.
In SRM, click Array Managers, and then click Add Array Manager.
2.
a.
b.
In the SRA Type field, select NetApp Storage Replication Adapter for ONTAP.
c.
If you are connecting directly to an SVM, you should enter the IP address of the SVM.
You can add storage by using either the SVM management IP address or the cluster management IP address with the Storage Systems menu of Virtual Storage Console.
d.
You can also leave this field blank.
e.
You can enter the source volume at the protected site and the replicated destination volume at the recovery site. You can enter either the full volume name or the partial volume name.
For example, if you want to discover volume src_vol1 that is in a SnapMirror relationship with volume dst_vol1, you must specify src_vol1 in the protected site field and dst_vol1 in the recovery site field.
f.
You can enter the source volume at the protected site and the replicated destination volume at the recovery site. You can enter either the full volume name or the partial volume name.
For example, if you want to exclude volume src_vol1 that is in a SnapMirror relationship with volume dst_vol1, you must specify src_vol1 in the protected site field and dst_vol1 in the recovery site field.

5.
Click Finish.
After you finish 
You can follow the same steps for the recovery site by using the appropriate SVM management IP addresses and credentials. On the Enable Array Pairs screen of the Add Array Manager wizard, you should verify that the correct array pair is selected, and that it shows as ready to be enabled.
