Figure 1 Discovered Information . Disk array discovery sequence The array discovery sequence is: 1. SRM makes a request to HP EVA Virtualization Adapter for available arrays. 2. HP EVA Virtualization Adapter connects to HP Command View EVA servers and requests array controller port information (WWN - HP EVA4000/6000/8000 | HP StorageWorks EVA Virtualization Adapter administrator - Page 9
. The information includes: • Recovery site storage array ID • Vdisk name • Recovery ESX server HBA ports (WWNs) for post-failover LUN presentation EVA Virtualization Adapter administrator guide 9 - HP EVA4000/6000/8000 | HP StorageWorks EVA Virtualization Adapter administrator - Page 10
HP EVA Virtualization Adapter then communicates with HP Command View EVA and correlates the requested vdisks with data replication groups. The adapter fails over each data replication group associated with the LUN information provided by SRM. HP EVA Virtualization Adapter then obtains LUN - HP EVA4000/6000/8000 | HP StorageWorks EVA Virtualization Adapter administrator - Page 11
Replication options SRM with HP EVA Virtualization Adapter supports HP Continuous Access EVA synchronous and asynchronous replication operations. Command View EVA Configuration Command View EVA management server manages the remote array passively.

4 Failover and failback with SRM This section discusses failover and failback with SRM. It also provides a scenario as a guide for the manual process of failback. Failover Failover occurs when an SRM recovery plan is executed, and the SRM recovery plan is configured to fail over SRM protection - HP EVA4000/6000/8000 | HP StorageWorks EVA Virtualization Adapter administrator - Page 26
