1 Overview of HP StorageWorks XP

Virtualization Adapter

HP StorageWorks XP Virtualization Adapter (XP Virtualization Adapter) is a Perl interface between

VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) and HP StorageWorks Disk Arrays. The interface enables

SRM to provide automatic access to remote data copies when virtual machines become unavailable

locally.

HP StorageWorks XP Virtualization Adapter performs the following functions for SRM:

Discovers disk arrays

Discovers replicated LUNs

Fails over storage for testing (test a recovery plan)

Fails over storage for recovery (execute a recovery plan)

During SRM configuration, XP Virtualization Adapter is called to discover available arrays and

replicated LUNs.

The following information is discovered:

Storage Array Ids serial number

Model: for example, 60-03-20/FF

Product: XP_RAID

Storage Port Id: Port WWN

Replicated LUNs and Ids: LDEV number and LUN WWN

Remote Storage Array Ids: serial number

Remote LUN Ids: LDEV number

NOTE:

Remote SVOL is available to the groups through XP RAID Manager horcm.conf, and are replicated

between protected and recovery XP disk arrays using XP Continuous Access Synchronous, XP

Continuous Access Asynchronous, and XP Continuous Access Journal software.

XP Virtualization Adapter provides information and performs XP operations for nondisruptive testing

of SRM failover recovery plans. SRM uses the information gathered during the discovery process to

create point-in-time copy of remote LUNs. After testing verifies that the point-in-time copies of the LUNs

can be recovered after failure of the local array (via a recovery plan), SRM uses XP Virtualization
