RP and the Storage Replication Adapter for VMware SRM

Hi,

the RN for this product says that you can Group all SRM protection Group LUNs into a single or a number of RP Consistency Groups.

Does that mean that I can have one SRM protection Group and its LUNs are distributed over multiple RP CGs?

Thanks

Absolutely, just make sure that you enable SRM external management on all of the RP CGs.

Thanks Rich for the quick reply!

Is it furthermore recommended to apply parallel bookmarks on all CGs which are controlled by SRM?

SRM cannot apply a parallel bookmark across the CGs in the PG. The only option would be to take the CGs out of SRM control, issue the parallel bookmark command. put the CGs back under SRM control (all scriptable) and then use the RP-VSI plugin to instruct SRM to use the parallel bookmarked snapshot as part of the test or failover.

Regards,

Rich
