If the preconfiguredEnv option is set to
False in the SRA configuration file sra.settings,IBM Spectrum Virtualize Family SRA runs in
non-preconfigured mode, creates volumes and FlashCopy®,
and attaches and detaches volumes to and from the host. But in order for the SRA to function
correctly in this mode, some additional configuration is required.
About this task
To configure needed settings for the SRA running in non-preconfigured mode, you must update
the SRA configuration file, sra.settings. To learn how, see Updating the SRA configuration file.
Procedure
-
Set appropriate values for the following parameters in sra.settings:
- testMDiskGroupID
- Instructs Spectrum Virtualize Family SRA
on which MDisk group on the recovery site storage system creates the FlashCopy (target) volumes during test recovery operations.
- volumeType
- Set the volume type as Standard, Thin Provisioned (Space Efficient), or Compressed Volume
depending on your requirement. Spectrum
Virtualize Family SRA creates the same type of volume during test recovery or recovery.
|
Note: If you back up remote copy source or target volumes during recovery, the
soruceMDiskGroupID must be an MDisk group ID on the protected (primary) Spectrum Virtualize Family cluster. Likewise, on
the recovery (secondary) site Spectrum
Virtualize Family, the recoveryMDiskGroupID must also be an MDisk group
ID.

Save the sra.settings file and run the
docker command to
verify the result:
docker exec <Container_ID> cat
/srm/sra/conf/IBMSpectrumVirtualizeFamilySRA/sra.settings
