      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mike,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Good Afternoon!  I hope all is well...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; I am curious.  Have you runinto this same error on EMC Unified Storage?  I have two NS120s with the same problem.  Interestingly enough CHAP is not configured anywhere in the environment.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;houghts?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;bernie &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>EMC Celerra VSA and VMware SRM Installation and Configuration</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Site-Recovery-Manager-Documents/EMC-Celerra-VSA-and-VMware-SRM-Installation-and-Configuration/ta-p/2779510</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Introduction&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Building a low-cost, self-contained, learning, testing and development environment using EMC Celerra Virtual Storage Appliances (VSAs) with VMware Virtual Infrastructure and VMware&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Site Recovery Manager (SRM).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There are two goals associated with this initiative. The first is this installation and configuration of “geographically separate” Celerra VSA instances complete with bi-direction replication. The second goal leverages these Celerra VSA for the purpose or testing and developing a working knowledge of VMware’s Site Recovery Manager (SRM).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Intended Audience&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This proven practice is intended for virtualization experts (VCPs) and storage experts. The goal is to build an SRM environment using EMC Celerra VSAs&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Outline&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Section 1: The Basics&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Assumptions&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 1: Download and Import Celerra Virtual Storage Appliance (VSA0&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 2: Configuring the Celerra VSA VM&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 3: Configuring the Celerra VSA TCP/IP addresses&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 4: Configuring the Celerra VSA to be Unique&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 5: Licensing&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 6: Configuring cge IP addresses&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Section 2: Adding Physical Storage&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 1: Add an new VMDK to your Celerra VSA VM&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 2: Configure the Celerra VSA to use the new storage&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 3: Adding “Physical” Disk to the Celerra VSA&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 4: Configure the Celerra VSA to use the new storage&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Section 3: Review&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Section 4: Configuring Celerra Replication&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 1: Configuring NTP (Network Time Protocol)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 2: Correcting the Celerra VSA Replication Database.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 3: Configuring Replication Using the Celerra Manager GUI&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 4: Preparing ESX Servers for iSCSI Targets and LUNs&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Section 5: Site Recovery Manager Installation&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 1: Site Recovery Manager Database Connectivity&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 2: Copying Site Recovery Manager and the SRA&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 3: Installing EMC Solutions Enabler&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 4: Installing Site Recovery Manager&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 5: Installing the Storage Replication Adapter&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 6: Installing the SRM Plug-in for Virtual Center&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Section 6: Site Recovery Manager Configuration&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 1: Configuring the Connection&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 2: Configuring the Array Manager&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 3: Configuring Inventory Mappings (Optional)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 4: Configuring Protection Groups&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 5: Configuring Recovery Groups&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 6: Testing (at long last…)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Appendix A: Configuring the Replication Target (Command Line Interface)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Configuring Replication&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Appendix B: iSCSI and NFS Discrete LUN Creation &amp;amp; Assignment&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 1: Creating iSCSI Targets&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 2: Configuring iSCSI LUNs and presenting them to ESX as VMFS Datastores&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Step 3: Configuring NFS LUNs and presenting them to ESX as NFS Datastores&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Appendix C: Basic VI Commands&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Appendix &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://communities.vmware.com/html/@B699825BEA7B9353BA12C688F8C7000B/emoticons/1f627.png" alt=":anguished_face:" title=":anguished_face:" /&gt; Troubleshooting&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Author&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Your information is one of your most strategic assets.
