Rescan Arrays to Detect Configuration Changes

By default,
Site Recovery Manager
checks arrays for changes to device configurations by rescanning arrays every 24 hours. However, you can force an array rescan at any time.
You can reconfigure the frequency with which
Site Recovery Manager
performs regular array scans by changing the
storage.minDsGroupComputationInterval
option in Advanced Settings. See
Change Storage Settings
.
Configuring array managers causes
Site Recovery Manager
to compute datastore groups based on the set of replicated storage devices that it discovers. If you change the configuration of the array at either site to add or remove devices,
Site Recovery Manager
must rescan the arrays and recompute the datastore groups.
  1. In the
    vSphere Client
    , click
    Site Recovery
    Open Site Recovery
    .
  2. On the
    Site Recovery
    home tab, select a site pair, and click
    View Details
    .
  3. On the Site Pair tab, click
    Configure
    Array Based Replication
    Array Pairs
    .
  4. Select an array pair and click
    Array Manager Pair
    Discover Array Pairs
    to rescan the arrays, or
    Discover Devices
    to recompute the storage devices and consistency groups.
    When you select an array pair, the
    Array Pairs
    tab provides detailed information about all the storage devices in the array, including the local device name, the device it is paired with, the direction of replication, the protection group to which the device belongs, whether the datastore is local or remote, and the consistency group ID for each SRA device.
