20 Disaster Recovery with Dell PS Series SANs and VMware vSphere Site Recovery Manager | TR1073
9. On the Configure paired array manager page, repeat the previous two steps for the PS Series array
at the DR site. Click Next.
10. On the Enable array pairs page, select the array pair and click Next.
11. On the Ready to complete page, review the setting and click Finish
This will establish the protection site array manager.
To view the status of the relationship between the array pairs, and the status of datastore replication perform
the following:
1. Select Array Based Replication from any of the site, the click on the Manage tab, and then Array
Pairs.
2. Next select the array pair of interest to display a list of the datastores and their current status.
3. Anytime new datastores are added and configured for replication, simply click to discover new
devices for the selected array pair.
5.4 Step 4: Configure inventory mappings
Inventory mappings are settings that match the protected site resources with the recovery site resources. This
can be used to match data centers, resource pools, folders, storage policies, and networks on the protected
site with data centers, resource pools, folders, storage policies, and networks on the recovery site for testing
and failover. This enables administrators to guarantee that broad configuration choices that are made in the
protected site match up on the recovery site when a failover occurs. These settings can be overwritten at the
individual VM level. Consult the SRM Administration Guide on how to configure the inventory mappings for
SRM.
To configure inventory mappings, select Sites from the Site Recovery Home in the vSphere Web Client.
Select one of the sites, and the click on the Manage tab. Select one of the options (Network Mappings, Folder
Mappings, Resource Mappings and Storage Policy Mappings) and then click New… to create a new mapping
for that type. In the example below, the production cluster at the production site is being mapped to the DR
cluster at the DR site. Similar options are available for network, folder and storage policy mappings.
