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: • Discovers disk arrays - HP StorageWorks XP12000 | HP StorageWorks XP Virtualization Adapter Administrato - Page 7
request to XP Virtualization Adapter to do failover to replicated LUNs on a remote (recovery) array. • XP Virtualization Adapter connects to an XP RAID Manager instance and requests replicated XP Continuous Access SVOLs on the recovery array. • XP Virtualization Adapter looks for and checks that XP - HP StorageWorks XP12000 | 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 LUN WWN, and then moves all resources to the recovery site. NOTE: During initial setup, replicated LUNs need to be presented to both the protected and recovery ESX - HP StorageWorks XP12000 | HP StorageWorks XP Virtualization Adapter Administrato - Page 9

Manager installation instructions, see the HP StorageWorks XP RAID Manager User's Guide. Installation procedure XP Virtualization Adapter is installed using an executable (rmxpsra.exe). XP Virtualization Adapter must be installed on both the local site SRM server (protected site) and the remote site - HP StorageWorks XP12000 | HP StorageWorks XP Virtualization Adapter Administrato - Page 24
(protected site) and the remote site SRM server (recovery site). To upgrade the XP Virtualization Adapter: 1. Confirm that SRM is enabled and that the EventLog, vpxd and vmware-dr startup types are set to automatic. 2.
