3 Use the MESM to perform at least one replication.
4 Use the MESM to schedule replications from the protected site to the recovery site. Doing so ensures that, in the event of a disaster
that disables the protected site, damages hardware, or damages les, SRM can use the most recently replicated copy at the recovery
site for disaster recovery. It is important, when using scheduled replication replications, to verify that the source of the most recent
replication was in a valid state.
Install SRM software
You must install an SRM server at the protected site and also at the recovery site. After the SRM servers are installed, download the SRM
client plug-in from either SRM server using the Manage Plugins menu from your vSphere Client. Use the SRM client plug-in to congure
and manage SRM at each site.
SRM requires that a vCenter server be installed at each site prior to installing SRM. The SRM installer must be able to connect with this
server during installation. VMware recommends installing SRM on a system that is dierent from the system where vCenter Server is
installed. If SRM and vCenter Server are installed on the same system, administrative tasks might become more dicult to perform. If you
are upgrading SRM, only protection groups and recovery plans that are in a valid state are saved during the upgrade. Protection groups or
recovery plans that are in an invalid state are discarded.
To install the SRM software:
1 Set up vCenter Server at each site.
2 Create a single data center in each instance of vCenter Server.
3 Add the local hosts to this data center.
4 Download VMware Site Recovery Manager software using the Download Product link at the following link on the VMware website:
https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads
5 Install VMware Site Recovery Manager 6.5 or later at each site, following the instructions in the VMware Site Recovery Manager
Administration guide.
You can locate the guide and release notes for your SRM version on the VMWare documentation website:
https://docs.vmware.com/en/Site-Recovery-Manager/index.html
6 Do not congure SRM at this time. First, Install the SRA software.
Install the SRA software
Download and install the Dell EMC ME4 Series SRA software for your version of VMware SRM:
1 Go to https://www.dell.com/support.
2 Locate the SRA software on the ME4 Series series storage system support page.
3 Open and run the SRA setup le.
After the SRA is installed at each site, you can congure SRM, which enables the plug-in to discover the volumes replicated between
the sites.
Congure SRM
After you have both SRM and SRA installed, the Getting Started tab of the main SRM window guides you through the steps necessary to
congure it. For detailed SRM conguration instructions, see the VMware publication Site Recovery Manager Administration guide.
Conguring ME4 Series storage systems in SRM requires the following:
• The IP addresses of the ME4 Series storage systems.
• A user name and a password for each storage system. This is the user name and password as congured in the MESM.
Make the following changes to your SRM settings:
• Set storageProvider.autoResignatureMode to 1 (required).
