Change Storage Provider Settings
For array-based replication, the SAN provider is the interface between Site Recovery Manager 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 Site Recovery Manager SAN provider.
You can change settings for resignaturing, fixing datastore names, host rescan counts, and timeouts in
seconds. For more information about these values, see the SRA documentation from your array vendor.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, click Site Recovery > Sites, and select a site.
2 On the Manage tab, click Advanced Settings.
3 Click Storage Provider.
4 Click Edit to modify the storage provider settings.
Option Action
Make Site Recovery Manager
attempt to detach and reattach
LUNs with duplicate volumes. The
default value is true.
Select the storageProvider.autoDetachLUNsWithDuplicateVolume check
box.
Set the LVM.EnableResignature
flag on ESXi hosts during test and
recovery. The default value is 0.
In the storageProvider.autoResignatureMode text box, enter 0 to disable,
1 to enable, or 2 to ignore the flag. The default setting is 0. If you set this
flag to 1, Site Recovery Manager resignatures all known VMFS snapshot
volumes, including any volumes that Site Recovery Manager does not
manage. If you leave the flag set to 0, Site Recovery Manager only
resignatures the VMFS snapshot volumes that it manages.
Change the timeout in seconds to
wait for Batch Attach LUN operation
to complete on each ESXi host. The
default value is 3600 seconds.
Enter a value in the storageProvider.batchAttachTimeoutSec text box.
Change the timeout in seconds to
wait for Batch Detach LUN
operation to complete on each ESXi
host. The default value is 3600
seconds.
Enter a value in thestorageProvider.batchDetachTimeoutSec text box.
Change the interval that
Site Recovery Manager waits for
VMFS volumes to be mounted. The
default value is 3600 seconds.
Enter a new value in the storageProvider.batchMountTimeoutSec text
box. Change this value if you experience timeouts caused by
Site Recovery Manager checking for VMFS volumes that take a long time
to mount. This setting is available in Site Recovery Manager 5.5.1 and later.
Change the interval that
Site Recovery Manager waits for
VMFS volumes to be unmounted.
The default value is 3600 seconds.
Enter a new value in the storageProvider.batchUnmountTimeoutSec text
box. Change this value if you experience timeouts caused by
Site Recovery Manager checking for VMFS volumes that take a long time
to unmount. This setting is available in Site Recovery Manager 5.5.1 and
later.
Set number of retries for batch
unmount of VMFS/NFS volumes.
The default is 3 tries.
Enter a new value in the storageProvider.datastoreUnmountRetryCount
text box.
Change the interval that
Site Recovery Manager waits before
attempting to unmount the
datastore. The default is 1 second.
Enter a new value in the
storageProvider.datastoreUnmountRetryDelaySec text box.
Force removal, upon successful
completion of a recovery, of the
snap-xx prefix applied to recovered
datastore names. The default value
is false.
Select the storageProvider.fixRecoveredDatastoreNames check box.
