Perl interface between VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) and HP StorageWorks Disk Arrays. The interface enables SRM to provide automatic access to remote data copies when virtual machines become unavailable locally. HP StorageWorks XP Virtualization Adapter performs the following functions for SRM - HP StorageWorks XP10000 | HP StorageWorks XP Virtualization Adapter Administrato - Page 7
LUN WWN. • SRM verifies the point-in-time copy SVOLs can be recovered after failure of the local array (via a recovery plan). SRM uses XP Virtualization Adapter to unpresent and delete the point-in-time copies. LUN WWN • CT group Ids for Replicated LUNs XP Virtualization Adapter Administrator Guide 7 - HP StorageWorks XP10000 | HP StorageWorks XP Virtualization Adapter Administrato - Page 8
NOTE: CT Group Ids for Replicated LUNs are supported in XP Business Copy • SRM maps LUNs with datastores using the Replicated Keys and are configured on Windows2003. RAID Manager is on a remote host (for example, Linux, Solaris, or HP-UX). 8 Overview of HP StorageWorks XP Virtualization Adapter - HP StorageWorks XP10000 | HP StorageWorks XP Virtualization Adapter Administrato - Page 9
