Hello,
I've seen many documents talking about supported SRM topologies, but all from the perspective of SRM, but my question is about the ABR topology that SRM supports. Let me explain an scenario:
Production site:
01 storage named Storage_1_Site_1 with 50TB of capacity
Recovery site:
01 storage named Storage_1_Site_2 with 20TB of capacity
01 storage named Storage_2_Site_2 with 30TB of capacity
TheStorage_1_Site_1 have 20TB replicating to Storage_1_Site_2 and 30TB replicating to Storage_2_Site_2 and this configuration 1-to-N is fully supported by the storage vendor.
Problem #1: on SRM at production site we can only add the array manager once, for example Storage_1_Site_1 -> Storage_1_Site_2, but when we try add Storage_1_Site_1 -> Storage_2_Site_2, SRM tell us that found a duplicated array... but with the first added array manager, the SRM detect that exist two Remote Arrays and detect all the replicated volumes.
Problem #2: since SRM detect correctly all replicated volumes, we're able to create the protection groups, but if we failover volumes from Storage_2_Site_2 to Storage_1_Site_1and then try reprotect, the SRM unmap volumes located atStorage_1_Site_2from all hosts at recovery site :-(
