We are running VMware SRM 5.0 and RecoverPoint 3.4 SP2. Running vCenter 5.0 and ESXi 5.0. The problem we are getting and the answer from VMware SRM and EMC RP support are conflicting each other. Our SRM failover process failed due to DR replicated LUNs were not detected during HBA scan. VMware support said that the Replicated LUN does not have to be added the VMware Storage Group on our VNX5300 (DR). The LUN is only added to the RP Storage Group. SRM/RP will present the luns in VMware as part of the SRM failover process. EMC tells us that the replicated LUN must be present in both VMware and RP Storage Group.
The failover process does not complete until we added the replicated lun into the VMware Storage Group. However, we previously tested other SRM protected LUNs and this was never required. Can someone provide the specific details on the RecoverPoint requirement to add the replicated LUN to the VMware Storage Group?
thanks
