ViPR SRM - second SYMAPI/vApp for VMAX host / 2nd VMAX site
We have two sites, two VMAX management servers with SYMAPI etc, I have the configuration working just fine for one site/VMAX array, but the 2nd array I'd like to add to ViPR SRM uses a different mgmt server at a different site, therefore I cannot use the same 'remote' proxy to discover and add the array.
I am assuming that I can add another Solution Pack-Data Collector instance when I add another ViPR SRM Collector node, but I wanted to confirm here if possible. Today when I reconfigure the VMAX Solution Pack, or Data Collector installed with the solution pack, I cannot add another Data Collector to point to the 2nd mgmt/symapi remote host and therefore the 2nd VMAX.
When I select '-Add new data collection-' when reconfiguring the solution pack, it seems to just overwrite the existing cfg, and not add a 2nd data collection.
Cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick,
You original assesment is accurate. If the array(s) are being managed by two different management servers, two different collector instances will be required to collect from them. These two collector instances can be on the same collector host though.
I see how the "Add new data collection" is misleading, I'll make a note of it...
Hope this helps...
