If you plan to use Site Recovery Manager for array-based replication, you must add Storage Replication Adapters (SRA) to the Site Recovery Manager Server. The SRA files are distributed as .tar.gz archives.
You must install an appropriate SRA on the Site Recovery Manager Server hosts at the protected and recovery sites. If you use more than one type of storage array, you must install the SRA for each type of array on both of the Site Recovery Manager Server hosts.
Prerequisites
- Download the SRA. Go to https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads, select , and then select .
- If you obtain an SRA from a different vendor site, verify that it is certified for the Site Recovery Manager release you are using. See the VMware Compatibility Guide for Site Recovery Manager at http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=sra.
- Enable the storage array's capability to create snapshot copies of the replicated devices. See your SRA documentation.
