By now, most of you know how Site Recovery Manager works. SRM requires a SRA (Storage Replication Adapter) which is basically a translator to allow SRM talk directly to the storage arrays. 6 of the SRAs were updated on VMware’s download site for SRM in January. They were:
Dell EqualLogics, Version 1.0.2, Released 01/20/2010
EMC Celerra, Version 4.0.17, Released 01/29/2010
Fujitsu ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager, Version 1.3| Released 01/29/2010
IBM DS4000/5000, Version 01.01.35.05, Released 01/15/2010
IBM N-series SAN Adapter, Version 1.4.2, Released 01/07/2010
LSI, Version 1.01.30.05, Released 01/21/2010
You can find the updated SRAs on the SRM download site here. As always, please check to make sure these updates are necessary for your environment. I would have included the release notes but unfortunately the vendors are not keep track of them. Upgrade at your own risk, and if you do, please test your recovery plans out fully with the new adapters.

Very good text. I’ve found your site via Bing and I’m really glad about the information you provide in your articles. Btw your sites layout is really messed up on the Kmelon browser. Would be great if you could fix that. Anyhow keep up the great work!
