HP 3PAR Replication Adapter 4.0.1 for VMware Site Recovery Manager Implementation Guide
■ HP 3PAR Storage System configuration at the protected site:
◆ Admit the virtual volume to the Remote Copy volume group.
A virtual volume contains virtual infrastructure data (datastore, virtual disk and RDM
disk). Replication of virtual infrastructure data is enabled by admitting virtual volumes
to the Remote Copy volume group. Each virtual volume at the protected site is mapped
to a corresponding virtual volume at the recovery site. Data in each virtual volume at
the protected site is synced with the data in the corresponding virtual volume at the
recovery site whenever Remote Copy is active. Refer to the HP 3PAR Remote Copy User’s
Guide for instructions on how to add virtual volumes to Remote Copy volume groups.
◆ Present virtual volume to ESX host (i.e. create a VLUN)
It is assumed that ESX host(s) are already connected to the HP 3PAR Storage System and
properly configured. Create a VLUN for ESX host(s) corresponding to the virtual volume.
Refer to the InForm OS VMware ESX Server Implementation Guide for more
information.
VLUN is not created for the recovery site ESX host(s) for the replicated virtual volume. The
failover process creates necessary VLUNs for the recovery site ESX host(s) for all replicated
virtual volumes that are part of a failover plan.
NOTE: All LUNs used by VMware Virtual Machines to form a protection group to
be failed over together during test and recovery must be part of a single HP 3PAR
Remote Copy group and synchronized with the target HP 3PAR Remote Copy
Group.
CAUTION: The HP 3PAR Replication Adaptor will fail if the host entry on the HP
Storage System was created using the
createhostset command and the VLUNs
subsequently exposed to the host set.
CAUTION: The HP 3PAR Replication Adapter does not support Synchronous Long
Distance Remote Copy configuration.
