Hi All
I wonder if anyone can help.
We have 2 IBM Storwize V7000's - 1 at the Protected Site and 1 at the Recovery Site.
We have a test Volume that is GlobalMirror 'repliacted' to the DR side - showing 'Consistent Synchronized'.
Within SRM 5.0 - Array Managers I can see that the Volume is found and replicated as expected. Not sure if our replicated Volume needs to be in a Consisteny group tho?
When we run a Recovery Plan it fails at Step 4. and we get this error:-
| 4. Create Writeable Storage Snapshot | Error - Failed to create snapshots of replica devices. SRA command 'testFailoverStart' failed. sraError.38295F72-F7D0-4A0F-B8D4-FF9821AB2675.1.desc sraError.38295F72-F7D0-4A0F-B8D4-FF9821AB2675.1.fixHint |
We are using the IBM V7000 SRA version 2.x (downloaded from VMware). Our IBM V7000's are Firmware 6.2.0.5.
The SRA is configured with the tick box 'Pre-Configured Env.' ticked. All other settings greyed out (as shown):
I have set the Advanced Settings option: storage.Commandtimeout to 1800 in 'Sites' as suggested by IBM.
Has anyone out there got their IBM V7000's working with SRM 5.0? If so are we missing a piece of the jigsaw somewhere? Does the DR side (on the V7000) need a FlashCopy Mapping as well?
Thanks in advance.
