About the HP 3PAR Storage Replication Adapter
The HP 3PAR VMware vCenter Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) interacts with array management
systems to discover arrays and replicated LUNs. These interactions are provided by various scripts
installed with VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM). HP 3PAR SRA creates software
modules with predefined interfaces, which provide SRM with replication information, and executes
needed commands using XML. HP 3PAR SRA provides an interfaces set, which is defined between
SRM and replicated storage arrays that enables SRM to execute the following workflows:
• Discovery of replicated storage
• Non-disruptive failover test using a writable copy of replicated data
• Emergency, or planned, failover
• Reverse replication after failover as part of failback
• Restore replication after failover as part of a production test
System requirements
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) is required prior to the installation.
• Microsoft .Net Framework V3.5 is required prior to the installation.
• All LUNs used by VMware Virtual Machines to form a protection group that are failed over
together during test and recovery have to be part of a single HP 3PAR Remote Copy group.
Refer to the HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software User's Guide for Remote Copy group setup and
configuration.
• HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software license on an HP 3PAR Storage System.
• HP 3PAR Virtual Copy Software license on an HP 3PAR Storage System
Turning on logging
The HP 3PAR Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) uses the same log scheme as the VMware vCenter
Site Recovery Manager for (SRM). The log file path is specified by SRM as one of the XML elements
in the input XML content.
