Configure Array
Managers
After you pair the
protected site and recovery site, configure their respective array managers so
that
Site
Recovery Manager
can discover replicated devices, compute datastore
groups, and initiate storage operations.
- Connect the sites as described in Connect the Protected and Recovery Sites inSite Recovery Manager Installation and Configuration.
- Install SRAs at both sites as described in Add Storage Replication Adapters to the Site Recovery Manager Appliance.
You typically configure array
managers only once after you connect the sites. You do not need to reconfigure
them unless array manager connection information or credentials change, or you
want to use a different set of arrays.
