If the preconfiguredEnv option is set to True
in the SRA configuration file sra.settings, some additional steps must be
completed before Spectrum Virtualize Family
SRA can function properly.

support preconfigured mode for IBM Stretched Cluster or IBM HyperSwap.
Procedure
- Create an equal number of FlashCopy® (target) volumes as the Remote
Copy target volumes on the recovery (secondary) site storage system.
- Create a background copy and incremental FlashCopy mapping between
Remote Copy target
volumes and the previously created FlashCopy target
volumes on the recovery site storage system.
- If
the remote copies are in a consistency group, create
a corresponding FlashCopy consistency
group and configure the corresponding FlashCopy to the FlashCopy consistency group.
- Map the Remote Copy target and FlashCopy target volumes to the recovery
site vSphere servers.
- Create an equal number
of FlashCopy (target)
volumes as the Remote
Copy source volumes on the protected (primary) site storage system.
- Create a background copy and incremental FlashCopy mapping between
Remote Copy source
volumes and the previously created FlashCopy target
volumes on the protected site storage system.
- If
the remote copies are in a consistency group, create
a corresponding FlashCopy consistency
group and configure the corresponding FlashCopy to the FlashCopy consistency group.
- Map the Remote Copy source and FlashCopy
target volumes to the protected site vSphere servers.
Note:
- FlashCopy configuration on the protected site is for
the test recovery and recovery operations, after the reprotect operation on the
recovery site.
- FlashCopy (target) volumes are resynchronized during
recovery.
