Here goes my update on this.

Created a new volume(small one 3GB, installed minimal linux for testing), consistency group with change volumes, downgrade SRA from IBMSVCSRA_v2.1.0.121224 To SRA 2.1.0.121108, after that, I was able to test SRM with success.

          1. Synchronize Storage Skipped   
          1.1. Protection Group teste Skipped   
          2. Restore hosts from standby Success 2013-04-09 09:41:28 (UTC 0) 2013-04-09 09:41:28 (UTC 0) 
          3. Suspend Non-critical VMs at Recovery Site Inactive   
          4. Create Writeable Storage Snapshot Success 2013-04-09 09:41:28 (UTC 0) 2013-04-09 09:43:06 (UTC 0) 
          4.1. Protection Group teste Success 2013-04-09 09:41:28 (UTC 0) 2013-04-09 09:43:06 (UTC 0)

But the issue still remains on largest volumes (ex. 500GB), still fails with change volumes:

     "Error - Failed to create snapshots of replica devices. SRA command 'testFailoverStart' failed. Invalid Array ID. Refer to IBM SAN Volume Controller      troubleshooting"

the strange thing is that it creates the snapshot and the consistency group fcmap

When i try to run the clean process under SRM, it fails with:

     "Error - Failed to delete snapshots of replica devices. SRA command 'testFailoverStop' failed. Invalid Array ID. Refer to IBM SAN Volume Controller      troubleshooting"

I have to force clean up, but then again I get the follwing warning message:

     "Warning - Failed to delete snapshots of replica devices. SRA command 'testFailoverStop' failed. Invalid Array ID. Refer to IBM SAN Volume Controller troubleshooting"
