We are configuring SRM to integrate with our SAN. Our SRM servers are currently on a 300GB LUN each at our protected and recovery sites. I would like to get a better understanding of configuring the SRA. Can anyone point me in the right direction for this? We are running Vsphere 5.5 and SRM 5.8.
A couple of specific questions that I had are:
Can the placeholder datastores be on the same LUN where the SRM server is running?
What configuration is involved with the SRA and the SAN itself? I don't want to disturb any production boxes' storage so how can I insure that what I am testing is only LUNs attached to our dev boxes? Is that all determined by what virtual machines are added to protection groups in SRM?
In other words, will VM's and their associated SAN storage be affected in anyway if they are NOT added to protection groups or anything to do with SRM?
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks.
