Hi,
We've got an issue with a SRM Recovery Plan we have just created where during a Test it will not proceed past the first step of Sychronizing the Storage. It fails every time with a message "Failed to sync data on replica consistency group '15725743990x72092424a3e5e3a' Failed to create snapshot".
I've tried everything i can think of including destroying the consistency group and all the actual TDEV's involved. All the recovery plans and protection groups in SRM were removed as well. And i basically started from scratch comparing it to another existing group and SRM Protection group/Recovery Plan and it still fails with this error.
I've done tests with Recover Point when this particular consistency group is not under SRM control and replication seems to work fine. The datastores in the Protected site automatically mount and i can browse them when i enable image access. So i am happy that the basics of RecoverPoint are working and think this is something within the SRM/SRA configuration. But since i am learning SRM as i go i am not 100% confident of that fact.
Don't know if it makes any difference but normally the LUN's in the protected site are visible to the ESX if i look under Configuration->Storage->Devices on any of the hosts, but they are not mounted. If i test image access in RecoverPoint when the consistency group is not under SRM control it automatically mount the LUN's which i assume is the same way SRM would work? Or would you expect that the LUN's in the protected site are mounted as datastores all the time?
I've logged a call with EMC but if anyone has any thoughts/ideas on what could be causing this i would welcome them.
Thanks
