SRM - Creating Array Pair

[vAndrew]

Hi,

Currently configuring SRM 8.1 on vCenter 6.5 using Dell Compellent SANs.

Have added the SRA and both sites can see each other fine and show status as green, ticked.

Now when trying to create an array pair, i get to the Local Array Manager page, and bit stuck on which details it requires:

Adding the storage center  details, seems to throw an error as below:

Username and password are both correct, think its down to the IP as there are a few on it, but none of them seem to connect up.

Any ideas?

Please make sure there is no network/firewall block between sites.

Dont believe there is anything blocked, but will check.

I assume this is from the SRM server to the SAN/storage manager on the local subnet initially?

For info you need to be running Dell Storage Center 18.1.1 for support with SRM 8.1

SRM to SAN within the site i dont think there will  be an issue. From your protection site to DR site there may be blocks if you have firewall in place.

Problem solved.

Seems one of the dell services wouldnt start. Once started, it can pair up fine!
