Datastore renamed after failover

[2012hplp2475w02]

Hello,

I use vSphere 5.0 U2 with SRM 5.0.  Storage is a NetApp V3210 snapmirrored to a FAS2240-4.

I did a recovery in SRM and I found that the datastore in vCenter was renamed snap-xxxx-datastore_name.  Why was the datastore renamed?  Can I prevent SRM to rename the datastore?  Is it possible to get the datastore named back to what it was originally?  If yes, how can I do it?

Thanks,

Frank

This is the default behavior of SRM, and yes it can be changed.  Page 89 on the admin guide.
