FlashArray SRA Version Options

VMware Site Recovery Manager currently comes in two forms, a Linux/Photon-based appliance and a Windows-based installation. In general, Everpure recommends using the Photon-based appliance option for SRM as VMware plans to deprecate support for the Windows option. Prior to that, Everpure is likely to only add new features to the photon version of the SRA. In short, a migration to the Photon appliance is encouraged.

Note:

The 4.0.0 release of the Everpure Storage Replication Adapter will be the last release to support the Windows-based Site Recovery Manager deployment. For the latest features and bug fixes from Pure's SRA, please consider upgrading your Windows-based SRM appliance to the Photon-based SRM appliance.

The Everpure FlashArray SRA supports upgrades of the SRA in-place with both SRM offerings.

Download the latest SRA from the Site Recovery Manager Quick Reference for the correct version of SRM that you are using. As always, the final source of truth is the VMware compatibility guide found here:
