Before protection groups or recovery plans can be configured, an array manager must be configured for each instance of the PowerFlex SRA to provide connectivity information for device discovery. These array managers are seen as local and remote. Because SRM supports bi-directional replication, these terms are entirely dependent on where the source volume resides.
As there is a single PowerFlex SRA for both version 3 and 4, the wizard is only covered once. Any differences between the platforms are described in detail later in this document. The following steps assume that the user is familiar with the SRM interface.
