3 In the Recovery Setup area of the Summary window, navigate to the Recovery Plans line and click Repair
Array Managers.
4 On the Recovery Site Array Managers page, click the Add, Remove, or Edit button to change the array
manager information for the recovery site.
Rescan Arrays to Detect Configuration Changes
SRM checks arrays for changes to device configurations every 24 hours. However, if needed, you can force an
array rescan at any time.
Configuring array managers causes SRM to compute datastore groups based on the set of replicated storage
devices it discovers. If you change the configuration of the array at either site to add or remove devices, SRM
must rescan the arrays and recompute the datastore groups.
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 Next.
5 On the Recovery Site Array Managers page, click Next.
6 On the Review Replicated Datastores page, click Rescan Arrays.
7 Click Finish to complete the operation.
Configure Inventory Mappings
Inventory mappings establish recovery site defaults for the folders, networks, and resource pools to which
recovered virtual machines are assigned. You create these mappings at the protected site, and they apply to
all virtual machines in all protection groups at that site.
Inventory mappings are optional but recommended. They provide a convenient way to specify how resources
at the protected site are mapped to resources at the recovery site. These mappings are applied to all members
of a protection group when the group is created, and can be reapplied as needed (for example, when new
members are added). If you do not create mappings, you must specify them individually for each virtual
machine that you add to a protection group. A virtual machine cannot be protected unless it has valid inventory
mappings for networks, folders, and compute resources. You do not need to specify inventory mappings for
resources that are not used by protected virtual machines.
NOTE If inventory mappings have been established for a site, you cannot override them by configuring the
protection of individual virtual machines. If you need to override inventory mappings for a few members of
a protection group, use the vSphere Client to connect to the recovery site and edit the network settings of the
placeholders or move them to a different folder or resource pool.
Procedure
1 Open a vSphere Client and connect to the vCenter server at the protected site.
