HP EVA Storage Replication Adapter Software for VMware vCenter SRM Administrator Guide

2 Configuring SRM, HP P6000/EVA, and
HP P6000 EVA SRA Software version 5.0
This chapter summarizes the steps to set up SRM and HP P6000 EVA and HP P6000/EVA disk array
for use with HP P6000 EVA SRA Software version 5.0. For detailed information on these steps, see
the documents listed in Related information.
Complete the following steps:
1. Set up P6000/EVA SAN environment with local and intersite link (ISL) zoning configurations.
2. Install HP P6000 EVA SRA Software version 5.0.
3. Configure array managers with HP Storage Administration Portal.
4. Pair SRM sites (protected/recovery).
5. Create protection groups.
6. Create recovery plans.
Setting up the SAN environment
Setting up the P6000/EVA SAN environment involves the following steps:
• Set up zones (local zoning and ISL zoning).
Local zoning should be configured in such a way that for each data center, local ESX server HBA
ports share the same zone as host ports from the storage array. For ISL zoning, a zone is created
so that host ports for both the local and remote storage array share the same zone. Note that HP
P6000 Command View Software servers for data center A and B need to be included in the ISL
zone (see Figure 5).
