Prerequisites

In order for SRM to run any operations on FlashArray-hosted datastores/RDMs there are a few requirements:

1. Replication must be configured on those volumes
2. Array managers must be configured
3. Array pairs protecting those volumes must be enabled
4. Volumes must be discovered by SRM
5. The volumes must be added to a protection group
6. The protection group must be in at least one recovery plan
7. Hosts and host groups must be pre-created on the recovery FlashArray for the target recovery clusters
8. Place volumes in protection groups for use with SRM protection groups and recovery plans. Using Hosts or Host Groups as placement for volumes to be protected by SRM has inconsistent behavior and support for this is best effort. Pure Storage is working to improve these workflows for a future release of the SRA when using host or host groups, but at this time Pure recommends avoiding using Host or Host Group placement for FlashArray protection groups
   Note:

   There is no need to pre-create any recovery volumes or pre-connect anything to the recovery hosts on the FlashArray(s). The SRA automates the process of creating recovery volumes and connecting them to the appropriate host resources.
