VMware Site Recovery Manager Integration

I’ve been going over the Site Recovery Manager documentation and there seems to be one missing piece: an easy to find directory of the Site Recovery Adapter (SRA) themselves.

The SRA is a component provided by the storage supplier and is responsible for managing the dialogue with the SAN storage for everything concerning the snapshot management and LUN presentation. The VMware compatibility matrix is fairly comprehensive, but nowhere is listed a site where you can download the SRAs for each supported storage bay.

Currently the supported vendors are:- Dell EqualLogic

But just try searching for an SRA to download and you’ll come up dry. NetApp shows a few articles mentioning the SRA, but a download link is nowhere to be found. So make sure you have a good contact at your storage vendor who can supply you with this absolutely necessary component.
