For SRM to function, the SRA must use login credentials that have rights to the respective PowerStore appliances that are replicating the virtual-machine volumes.
Keep in mind that each PowerStore appliance, whether it is at the protected or remote site, maintains its own user-access database. Credentials are required for PowerStore appliances at both sites. For example, if PS-22 is replicating virtual-machine volumes to PS-17, the credentials that the SRAs use must have administrator privileges to both appliances PS-22 and PS-17. Figure 5 shows the default admin credential that is used to manage the PowerStore appliance.
