As described in Site Recovery Manager architecture, PowerStore Manager is a critical piece in the SRM infrastructure because it processes all calls from the SRA and performs the storage-related workflow tasks at the recovery site.
PowerStore Manager is natively integrated and deployed with each PowerStore appliance, so there are no architectural decisions required regarding where to deploy PowerStore Manager. If the recovery-site PowerStore appliance is healthy and available, the requirement for PowerStore Manager availability is met. Ensure that monitoring and alerting processes are in place for each PowerStore appliance.
