4.1

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
Licensing.
3 For the report view, select Asset.
4 Right-click an SRM asset and select Change license key.
5 Select Assign a new license key and click Enter Key.
6 Enter the license key, enter an optional label for the key, and click OK.
7 Click OK.
What to do next
Repeat the process if you need to assign a license key at the recovery site (to support bi-drectional operation).
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 29).
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.
