Updating the SRA configuration file from the SRM Appliance Management Interface

Complete the following steps to updating the SRA configuration file on an SRM Server from the SRM Appliance Management Interface.

1. Log in to the VMware SRM Appliance Management Interface.
2. Click Storage Replication Adapters.
3. Click the drop-down menu within the SRA card on the Storage Replication Adapters pane and select Download configuration archive, as shown in Figure 1.

   

4. Extract the archive and modify the SRA configuration file sra.settings under the directory IBMSpectrumVirtualizeFamilySRA.
   For example, uncompress the archive with the command tar -pzxvf:

   $ tar -pzxvf ibm-spectrum-virtualize-family-sra_3_5_0.tar.gz
   x ./
   x ./sra-configuration-version.txt
   x ./IBMSpectrumVirtualizeFamilySRA/
   x ./IBMSpectrumVirtualizeFamilySRA/sra.settings
   

   Important: Don’t modify the file sra-configuration-version.txt. SRM would use this file to match the digest of the current configuration. If the two hashes don’t match, the change would be rejected.

5. Compress the SRA configuration files as a tar.gz.
   For example, compress the archive with the command tar -pzcvf:

   $ tar -pzxvf ibm-spectrum-virtualize-family-sra_3_5_0.tar.gz 
        IBMSpectrumVirtualizeFamilySRA sra-configuration-version.txt
   a ./IBMSpectrumVirtualizeFamilySRA/
   a ./IBMSpectrumVirtualizeFamilySRA/sra.settings
   a ./sra-configuration-version.txt
   

6. Back on the Storage Replication Adapters pane in the SRM Appliance Management interface, click the drop-down menu within the SRA card and select Upload configuration archive, as shown in Figure 2.

   

7. Run the docker command to verify the result:
   docker exec <Container_ID> cat /srm/sra/conf/IBMSpectrumVirtualizeFamilySRA/sra.settings
