testing SRM with EMC VNXe SRA in lab environment and have one replicated NFS datastore. When testing the recovery plan, datastore is snapshoted and promoted with r/w hosts permissions. However, when it attempts to mount the NFS datastore it is using the wrong storage server IP address in which the export path technically does not exist and fails. Not sure if this is an issue with SRM or the SRA.
Highlighted in red from the logs show that the remote NFS server 10.100.100.30 (src SPB) is mapped to 10.20.12.100 (dst SPA). Not sure where a mapping like this exists other than replication which is configured from 10.100.100.30 (src SPB) to 10.20.12.101 (dst SPB)
