4 Select a site or pair of sites for the array manager and click Next.
5 Select the array manager type that you want Site Recovery Manager to use from the SRA Type table
and click Next.
If no manager type appears, rescan for SRAs or check that you have installed an SRA on the
Site Recovery Manager Server host.
6 Enter a name for the array in the Display Name text box and click Next..
Use a descriptive name that makes it easy for you to identify the storage associated with this array
manager.
7 Provide the required information for the type of SRA you selected.
For more information about how to fill in these text boxes, see the documentation that your SRA vendor
provides. Text boxes vary between SRAs, but common text boxes include IP address, protocol
information, mapping between array names and IP addresses, and user name and password.
8 If you chose to add a pair of array managers, on the Enable array pairs page, select the the array pair to
enable, then click Next.
You can also configure array pairs in the single option mode if the array manager on the peer site is
already created.
9 Review the configuration and click Finish.
10 Repeat steps to configure an array manager for the recovery site, if necessary.
Rescan Arrays to Detect Configuration Changes
By default, Site Recovery Manager checks arrays for changes to device configurations by rescanning arrays
every 24 hours. However, you can force an array rescan at any time.
You can reconfgure the frequency with which Site Recovery Manager performs regular array scans by
changing the storage.minDsGroupComputationInterval option in Advanced Settings. See Change Storage
Settings.
Configuring array managers causes Site Recovery Manager to compute datastore groups based on the set of
replicated storage devices that it discovers. If you change the configuration of the array at either site to add
or remove devices, Site Recovery Manager must rescan the arrays and recompute the datastore groups.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, click Site Recovery > Array Based Replication.
2 Select an array.
3 In the Manage tab, select Array Pairs.
The Array Pairs tab provides information about all the storage devices in the array, including the local
device name, the device it is paired with, the direction of replication, the protection group to which the
device belongs, whether the datastore is local or remote, and the consistency group ID for each SRA
device.
4 Right-click an array pair and select Discover Devices to rescan the arrays and recompute the datastore
groups.
