Storage step in the recovery plan, it provides the LUN information needed for failover to the P9000 Virtualization Adapter. The failover sequence is: • SRM makes a request to the P9000 Virtualization Adapter to do failover to replicated LUNs on a remote (recovery) array LUNs are supported in Business - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks P9000 Virtualization Adapter Administrator - Page 10
on a Windows machine. The Virtual Center server (VIC), SRM, and P9000 Virtualization Adapter are configured on Windows 2003. RAID Manager is on a remote host (for example, Linux, Solaris, or HP-UX). The P9000 Virtualization Adapter is configured using the command.pl Perl script file (see command.pl - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks P9000 Virtualization Adapter Administrator - Page 11

. 2 - MU# must be specified for registering Business Copy group. HP recommends that you specify either MU#0,1.2 for Business Copy or Snapshot. Business MU# (except MU#0) is specified, it is needed to set the P9000 Virtualization Adapter variable. (see "Environment variables" on page 22). The example - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks P9000 Virtualization Adapter Administrator - Page 16

set to true. • If the Business Copy licence is installed, SRM requires that SplitReplication is set supports NAA version 6 information in Page 83 SCSI inquiry as UUID. ESX Server, Datastore, and SRM recognize a LUN using LUN WWN returned by the disk array. Therefore, the P9000 Virtualization Adapter - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks P9000 Virtualization Adapter Administrator - Page 18
group when a single disk fails (because I/O is not fenced). Virtual machines must be able to boot when a disaster occurs (failover), or when a failover test is executed. When a disaster happens, it is acceptable to use fence level NEVER. Therefore, the P9000 Virtualization Adapter completes failover - HP XP20000/XP24000 | HP StorageWorks P9000 Virtualization Adapter Administrator - Page 19
