4 Select the array manager type that you want SRM to use from the SRA Type drop-down menu.
If no manager type appears, rescan for SRAs or check that you have installed an SRA on the SRM Server
host.
5 Provide the required information for the type of SRA you selected.
The SRA creates these text boxes. 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.
6 Click Finish.
7 Repeat steps Step 1 through Step 6 to configure an array manager for the recovery site.
8 Select an array in the Array Managers panel and click the Array Pairs tab.
9 (Optional) Click Refresh to scan for new array pairs.
10 Select an array pair in the Discovered Array Pairs panel, and click Enable.
If you have added array managers, but no array pairs are visible, click Refresh to collect the latest
information about array pairs.
Rescan Arrays to Detect Configuration Changes
SRM checks arrays for changes to device configurations every 24 hours. However, you can force an array
rescan at any time.
You can reconfgure the frequency with which SRM preforms regular array scans by changing the
storage.minDsGroupComputationInterval option in Advanced Settings. See Change Storage Settings in Site
Recovery Manager Administration.
Configuring array managers causes SRM 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,
SRM must rescan the arrays and recompute the datastore groups.
Procedure
1 Click Array Managers and select an array.
2 Click the Devices tab.
The Devices 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.
3 Click Refresh to rescan the arrays and recompute the datastore groups.
Edit Array Managers
Use the Edit Array Manager wizard to modify an array manager's name or other settings, such as the IP
address or user name and password.
For more information about how to fill in the adapter fields, see the documentation that your SRA vendor
provides. While fields vary among SRAs, common fields include IP address, protocol information, mapping
between array names and IP addresses, and user names and passwords.
Procedure
1 Click Array Managers in the left pane, and select an array manager.
2 Right-click an array and select Edit Array Manager.
