Vmware SRM fail-over issues

Most Common issue we are facing test failovers is a problem mounting the snapshot datastores at the recovery site.

A typical error message may be "Failed to Create Snapshots of Replica Devices" or Time out 300 seconds while waiting for SRA to complete "discoverDevices" command. 

Always we are facing issue with related to the SRA and some tweaks can be made to the timeout setting.

To change advanced settings using vsphere or web client.


storageProvider.hostRescanRepeatCnt to 2
storageProvider.hostRescanTimeoutSec to something higher than 300.  
storageProvider.waitForAccessibleDatastoreTimeoutSec to something higher than 30, and again it depends.

I hope this information will help you, thanks for reading my blog.
