18 Disaster Recovery with Dell PS Series SANs and VMware vSphere Site Recovery Manager | TR1073
5.3 Step 3: Configure array managers
Once the SRM partnership between the two sites is established and the Array Manager needs to be
configured.
1. From the SRM section of the vSphere client, select one of the sites. Click on the Monitor tab and
then select SRAs.
2. The previously installed SRA will be displayed here. It may be necessary to do a manual rescan on
first use. Click Rescan SRAs to discover the SRA.
Once the SRA has been discovered at both locations, each side needs to have its Array Manager
configured. This is the PS Series group that is local to each SRM instance. In order for the SRM
server to see the Array Manager correctly it must have access to the group management IP address.
3. Continuing from the same location in the vSphere web client, click Add Array Manager. This option
is also accessible from the Actions drop down menu.
4. On the Options page, select Add a pair of array managers and click Next.
5. On the Location page, select the relevant pair of sites and click Next.
