SRA configuration with Hitachi storage

Dear all,

i'm here with the storage manager who configured the replicated LUNs.

He states everything is properly configured but as long as i try to run the array discovery from the protected site we have the error : failed to discover array.

What can we do in this case ? are there any logs were we can go through ?

Many thx in advance

Daniele

Dear all,

i solved setting the ALIAS name in capital letter :smileygrin: and the paring went fine.

Now anothe question : even if configuration went ok i still see the ARRAY Managers still not configured.

Is that ok ? when i try to edit , all is visible instead.

Many thx

Do you have volumes/luns already enabled for replication & formatted with VMFS - with at least one VM on it?

Danielef,

You need to have VMFS volumes presented to you ESX hosts.

The steps i would follow are:

create vmfs volumes and present them to ESX cluster

Place at least one VM on each vmfs volume

setup replication for teh applicable vmfs volumes

Run back through the array configuration manager

At the end of the configuration you should see the LUNs that are being replicated and that have vms on them

Hope this helps
