From the above output, the following information is gathered:
• Target/replica vDisk UUID, WWN, and the name:
1. WWN and UUID - 6005-08b4-0010-3a70-0000-9000-0661-0000
2. Name - \Virtual Disks\SNEHA\DP-2006.06.20-5-04497CA1A\ACTIVE
• Source (of the replica) vDisk UUID:
1. UUID - 6005-08b4-0010-3a70-0000-9000-0042-0000
• The EVA name and the WWN where the matched source and target volumes exist:
1. Name - DPCA
2. WWN - 5000-1fe1-5005-dc00
Using this information, the source storage volume and the EVA where it resides can be located. The
target storage volume or the target vDisk may also be located to verify that it still exists.
Connect to the Storage Management Appliance or any other CV EVA management host that manages
the specific EVA. Browse through the Virtual Disk Folder until the vDisk with a matching UUID is
found.
In the screenshot below, the source vDisk with a UUID of 6005-08b4-0010-3a70-0000-9000-0042-
0000 has been located:
