Protection group not configured with Replicated RDM

I am trying to configure protection group having multiple volumes and VM's, one of those VM's have Raw Disk (RDM) attached to it, all VM's are configured properly for protection except the VM that is having RDM, be noted all my volumes including one attached as RDM are replicated to recovery site, replication of these devices can be seen in SRM.

Error:

"Device hard disk 2 is not configured, please specify a recovery site location or detach it"

Be ensured that replication of RDM volume as well other volumes is evident from Storage GUI and in array manager of SRM

Hi,

What storage are you using? RDMs may require some additional configuration. Does your SRA documentation mention RDMs?

I'm seeing the same thing. My RDMs have all been replicated and SRM Array Manager shows it as replicated. The Protection Group complains though that the RDM devices not found. How did you resolve?
