For the purpose of this document, the following example environment will be used.
Two volumes in a stretched pod called srmPod.

|
The pod is stretched over two physical arrays, flasharray-m50-1 and flasharray-m50-2. On each of these volumes is a VMFS datastore, named srmDS-01-stretched and srmDS-02-stretched.
Note:
With the release of Site Recovery Manager (SRM) 8.5, SRM now supports Raw Device Mapping (RDM) devices in stretched protection groups. This means that Virtual Machines that have RDMs attached to them can be protected with SRM and recovered with SRM when using ActiveCluster.
However, with SRM 8.4 and lower RDMs are not supported.
