13 Deploying VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager with NetApp FAS/V-Series Storage Systems
Figure 9 Unsupported Replication Example
Any replication relationship where an individual NetApp volume or qtree is replicated from one source array
to multiple destination arrays is not supported by SRM. In this example VM1 cannot be configured for
protection in SRM because it is replicated to two different locations.

5.6 MULTISTORE VFILER REQUIREMENTS
MultiStore enables secure logical partitioning of a single NetApp storage controller into virtual controllers
called vFilers. vFilers have the effect of making a single physical storage controller appear to be many
logical controllers. Each vFiler can be individually managed with different sets of performance and policy
characteristics. vFilers support IP storage environments including iSCSI VMFS datastores, iSCSI RDM
devices, and NFS datastores.
The following are requirements for MultiStore vFiler support with the NetApp SRA:
• The source and destination vFiler must both be online.
• SnapMirror relationships must be defined within the vFiler context, not on the physical hosting array
referred to as vFiler0.
• Each vFiler at the primary site must be added to SRM separately as an array.
• Each vFiler at the DR site must be added to SRM separately as an array.
• Prior to executing a DR test the option vfiler.vol_clone_zapi_allow must be set to on on the
physical controller.
• Only iSCSI or NFS connected datastores are supported in vFilers.
