Change Storage Provider Settings
For array-based replication, the SAN provider is the interface between SRM and your storage replication
adapter (SRA). Some SRAs require you to change default SAN provider values. You can change the default
timeout values and other behaviors of the SRM SAN provider.
You can change settings for resignaturing, fixing datastore names, host rescan counts, and timeouts. For
more information about these values, see the SRA documentation from your array vendor.
Procedure
1 Click Sites in the SRM interface, right-click the site on which to change settings, and select Advanced
Settings.
2 Click storageProvider.
3 Modify the SAN provider settings.
Option Action
Make SRM attempt to detach and
reattach LUNs with duplicate
volumes
Select the storageProvider.autoDetachLUNsWithDuplicateVolume check
box.
Set the LVM.EnableResignature
flag on ESXi hosts during test and
recovery
In the storageProvider.autoResignatureMode text box, type 0 to disable, 1
to enable, or 2 to ignore the flag. The default setting is 0. If you set this flag
to 1, SRM resignatures all known VMFS snapshot volumes, including any
volumes that SRM does not manage. If you leave the flag set to 0, SRM
only resignatures the VMFS snapshot volumes that it manages.
Force removal, upon successful
completion of a recovery, of the
snap-xx prefix applied to recovered
datastore names
Select the storageProvider.fixRecoveredDatastoreNames check box.
