needed for scenarios like failovers and test failovers. SRM is a service on Windows that executes the script for the replicated LUNs discovery see the HP P9000 Raid Manager User Guide available at: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c03017860/c03017860.pdf Prerequisites HP P9000 - HP EVA4000/6000/8000 | HP Replication Adapter for VMware vCenter Site Recovery M - Page 6

1. SRM makes a request to RM SRA to find available arrays. 2. RM SRA connects to a RAID Manager Instance and requests all groups to find array controller information (WWN) and, using RAID Manager commands, to find remote arrays. 3. RM SRA returns the results to SRM. Discovery Devices sequence The - HP EVA4000/6000/8000 | HP Replication Adapter for VMware vCenter Site Recovery M - Page 9
device. 5. SRM follows the reverseReplication command with syncOnce and querySyncStatus commands to initiate and monitor data transfer. This is necessary when production services have been running at site B for long enough to create a large amount of data that must be replicated back to site A. NOTE - HP EVA4000/6000/8000 | HP Replication Adapter for VMware vCenter Site Recovery M - Page 10
syncOnce and querySyncstatus commands The syncOnce and querySyncStatus command sequence is: 1. SRM makes a request to RM SRA with the syncOnce command to be synchronized and executes periodic querySyncStatus commands to check replication progress using syncID returned by syncOnce. Checking continues - HP EVA4000/6000/8000 | HP Replication Adapter for VMware vCenter Site Recovery M - Page 11
