SRA device management service

The process monitors and synchronizes communications between the MD SRA and the MD storage

arrays. SRM workload is partitioned between a persistent server and multiple transient client programs

which endure only during a single SRM command. Because many SRM commands are expected to be

run during a single SRM workflow (for example, test failover), clients are frequently used. Servers,

however, running as a Windows Service, persist and manage all communications with storage arrays.

No special configuration other than default values is required for the server. However, two files can be

edited to control host configuration, socket communication and virtual machine (VM) memory:

SraConfigurati

onData.xml

This file resides in the /config directory under the SRA installation directory. The

specific location depends on your installation selections, the default location is C:

\Program Files(x86)\VMware\VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager\scripts\SAN

\Dell\SraConfigurationData.xml.

NesSvc.ini

This Win32 Service initialization file resides in the /win32svc directory under the

same SRA default installation directory as the SraConfigurationData.xml.

Changing server settings in SraConfigurationData.xml

The portion of SraConfigurationData.xml file relevant to service configuration is:

<SvcHost>localhost</SvcHost>
