Replication options
SRM with HP EVA Virtualization Adapter supports HP Continuous Access EVA synchronous and
asynchronous replication operations.
Command View EVA Configuration Options
There are two configuration options for the disaster recovery environment with SRM and HP EVA
Virtualization Adapter:
• Single active Command View EVA server In this configuration, the Command View EVA manage-
ment server manages the protected and recovery arrays actively. A second Command View EVA
management server manages the protected and recovery arrays passively.
NOTE:
In this configuration (during failover or test failover) if the primary Command View EVA site is
down, the recovery Command View EVA site will be forced to actively manage the recovery array.
• Split active Command View EVA server In this configuration, each Command View EVA manage-
ment server actively manages a single array (the local array). Each Command View EVA manage-
ment server manages the remote array passively.
