So now finally with the release (still not official) of the latest SRA from IBM SRM can now see the replicated storage on the V7000s however the SRA do not appear to be able to control the storage for some reason. Everytime I try to test a Recovery plan I get the below failed to create snapshots of replica devices errors.
Just wondering if anyone has seen these errors or even had any success with SRM 5 and V7000/SVC 6.3?
