  • 1.  Error when performing discover with EMC Unity storage in VMR DR 1.7

    Posted Mon November 27, 2023 04:01 PM

    I tried to execute ksysmgr discover command with EMC Unity storage and have the following error

    cxl2csxkp01# ksysmgr discover host_group csrstage                           
    11:09:59  Running discovery on Host Group csrstage, this may take a few minutes...
            11:10:24  Storage state synchronization has started for Host Group csrstage
            ERROR: Discovery has encountered an error for Host Group csrstage, please investigate
            ERROR: Discovery has encountered a Disk Pair error for Host Group csrstage, please investigate
    11:10:26  Discovery has finished for csrstage
    0 out of 6 managed VMs have been successfully discovered
    ERROR: KSYS has encountered storage subsystem related error.
    SM ERROR:422:Storage Error, Error
    Please check storage log file /var/ksys/log/ksys_unity.log for further investigation.
    Please review errors. The "ksysmgr query system status" command may provide additional details.

    After checking ksys_unity log, I found the error. Does anyone have experience to walk around the problem?

    Hi Jerry,

    VM Recovery Manager uses REST communication with unity and looks issues with REST communication.

    What are the storage version details?

    Hi Jerry,

    Can you ask them to try at least one replication session or replication pair is preexisting, before initiating discovery  from VMRM?

    They can set it up pairing for any volumes, which are not part of VMRM.
