Limitations of Using SRM in Shared Recovery Site Configuration on page 85
When you configure SRM to use a shared recovery site, SRM supports the same operations as it does
in a standard one-to-one configuration. Configuring for a shared recovery site support is subject to
some limitations.
n
SRM Licenses in a Shared Recovery Site Configuration on page 85
If you configure SRM to use with a shared recovery site, you can assign licenses individually on the
shared recovery site. You can also share a license between all SRM Server instances on the shared
recovery site.
n
Install SRM In a Shared Recovery Site Configuration on page 86
To install SRM in a shared recovery site configuration, you deploy SRM Server on one or more
protected sites, and deploy a corresponding number of SRM Server instances on the shared recovery
site.
n
Use Array-Based Replication in a Shared Recovery Site Configuration on page 91
You can use array-based replication with SRM in a shared recovery site configuration in the same way
as you do in a standard one-to-one configuration.
