4 In the navigation pane of the Advanced Settings window, click Licensing.
5 Enter the SRM license key in the Licensing.LicenseKey text box
The first time you open the Licensing page, the evaluation key is displayed in the Licensing.LicenseKey
text box.
6 Click OK to save your changes and close the Advanced Settings window.
7 Repeat the process to install a license key at the recovery site.
If you enter a valid license key, it is displayed in the Licensing.LicenseKey text box each time you open the
Licensing page. If you enter an invalid license key, the previous valid license key (or the evaluation key, if no
other valid key has ever been entered) is displayed the next time you open the Licensing page.
Configure Array Managers
After you have connected the protected site and recovery site, you must configure their respective array
managers so that SRM can discover replicated devices, compute datastore groups, and initiate storage
operations.
The array manager configuration wizard leads you through a number of steps:
n
You provide SRM with connection information and credentials (if needed) for array management systems
at the protected and recovery sites.
n
SRM verifies that it can connect to arrays at both sites.
n
SRM verifies that it can discover replicated storage devices on these arrays and identify the VMFS
datastores that they support.
n
SRM computes and verifies datastore groups based on virtual machine storage layout and any consistency
groups defined by the storage array.
When the configuration process is complete, the wizard presents a list of replicated datastore groups. You
typically configure array managers only once, after you have connected the protected and recovery sites. You
do not need to reconfigure them unless array manager connection information or credentials have changed,
or you want to use a different set of arrays.
Prerequisites
Before you configure the array managers at the protected and recovery sites, be sure that at least one virtual
machine at the protected site is stored on a replicated device supported by an array for which you have installed
an SRA. The array manager configuration wizard does not detect replicated devices unless they are part of a
datastore that is home to at least one virtual machine.
You must also connect the protected and recovery sites (see “Create a Site Pair,” on page 27).
Procedure
1 Open a vSphere Client and connect to the vCenter server at the protected site.
Log in as a vSphere administrator.
2 On the vSphere Client Home page, click the Site Recovery icon.
3 In the Protection Setup area of the Summary window, navigate to the Array Managers line and click
Configure.
4 On the Protected Site Array Managers page of the Configure Array Managers wizard, click Add.
5 Make sure that the array manager type that you want SRM to use appears in the Manager Type field.
If more than one SRA has been installed on the SRM server host, click the drop-down arrow and select
the manager type you want to use. If no manager type is displayed, no SRA has been installed on the SRM
server host. For more information, see “Install the Storage Replication Adapters,” on page 23.
