Dell PowerVault MD Series Storage Arrays Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) Best Practices Guide (Client)

Password-protected storage arrays

If your environment implements password security on the storage arrays, modify the SraConfigurationData.xml file to prompt for the storage array password.

To modify the files:

  1. Edit the SraConfigurationData.xml file available at C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager\storage\sra\Dell\config\SraConfigurationData.xml
  2. Locate the <PasswordRequiredForArrayAccess> tag.
  3. Change the default value of false to true.
  4. Save the file changes.
    • NOTE: All storage arrays must utilize the same security measures. If one storage array has a password set, then the peer storage array must also have the password set. SRA does not support Mixed authentication mode.
