COTV-5789: XML Parsing error when running a SRA Test Failover when using custom snapshot names
Issue
When performing a testFailover with OTV 10.3, the following XML Validation error from SRM is seen when using a custom snapshot naming scheme on the destination volume:
2025-04-03T18:07:39.325Z error vmware-dr[33331] [SRM@6876 sub=Storage opID=1234-1234-1234-1234-abcdefg-test:1234:1234:1234:4321] XML parsing error at (1, 413): empty content is not valid for content model 'All(Name?,Time,VmImageConsistencyEnabled?)'
SRA parses the snapshot name and pulls a "RecoveryPoint" <Time> field. For example, for the following snapshot name, SRA would pull a <Time>2025-02-20_140000</Time> parameter:
snapmirror.12345676-1234-1234-1234-123456789_123456789.2025-02-20_140000
When a custom snapshot naming schedule is used, SRA will fail to parse a value for <Time></Time> and will fail to include this in the XML Response back to SRM. This leads to a XML Validation error.
