the ability to see how virtual machines are mapped to datastores and individual MSA Storage volumes. By
providing these clear relationships between VM's, datastores and storage, the VMware administrator's
productivity increases, as does the ability to ensure quality of service. Roles for administrators can be
defined on an
individual basis, providing the ability to apply specific permissions for both view and control
functions.
HPE OneView for VMware vCenter supports mixed array environments including MSA Storage, P2000,
EVA, StoreVirtual Appliances, and the XP array series including the P9500.
When deployed with the MSA Storage array, HPE OneView for VMware vCenter provides the following:
• Active Management functionality for the MSA 1040 array:
- Create/Expand/Delete a Datastore
- Create a Virtual Machine from a template
- VMClone for linear storage
• Monitors the health and status of the MSA 1040
• Displays LUN / volume connections from VMs and ESX servers to the arrays and provides the
location and attributes of the MSA 1040 within the SAN
• Identifies what storage features are available to allow administrators to match the features
available on the MSA 1040 to their requirements
• Provide a cluster-level view of the storage

VMware Site Recovery
Manager(SRM)
VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is an extension to VMware vCenter that delivers
business-continuity and disaster-recovery solution that helps you plan, test, and execute the recovery of
vCenter virtual machines. SRM can discover and manage replicated datastores, and automate migration
of inventory from one vCenter to another. Site Recovery Manager integrates with the underlying
replication product through a Storage Replication Adapter (SRA). The SRM is available only for linear
storage.
HPE MSA 2040 Site Recovery Adapter (SRA)
The MSA 2040 SRA, a free-to-use plugin, is the program that integrates the VMware vCenter SRM with
HPE MSA 2040 arrays. It enables full-featured use of the VMware SRM. It is a host-software component
installed on a Microsoft Windows Server that enables disaster recovery management (DRM) software on
the host to communicate and control certain aspects of the replication feature in storage systems
connected to the server. It allows the VMware SRM software to automatically coordinate virtual machine
failover and failback between a protected data center and a disaster recovery site by employing a disaster
recovery solution called Remote Snap. A perfect combination of the Remote Snap replication and VMwa
re
SRM provides an unfailing automated solution for implementing and testing the disaster recovery
between sites located across geographies. It enables communication between the HPE MSA Remote
Snap replication functionality that is embedded in HPE MSA 2040 systems. Users are required to acquire
Remote Snap license for their local and remote HPE MSA 2040 arrays to use the HPE MSA SRA.
Site Recovery Manager Requirements/Dependencies:
