  • Site Recovery Manager (SRM)
  • Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) 4.0P1, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2

Issue

When running a device discovery operation in Site Recovery Manager (SRM) the following errors may be seen:


'XmlValidateException' error:

Site Recovery Manager (SRM)

Reviewing the discoverDevices response in the SRM logs shows that no SourceDevice is returned and that an XML parsing error is thrown immediately after the XML output is received:

'Unable to find a matching device' error:

Storage Replication Adapter

Reviewing the discoverDevices response in the SRM logs shows that a peer device could not be found for the device called out in the "Unable to find a matching device" error.  This is despite the fact that the array device is in a healthy snapmirror relationship:

The 'Unmapped' volume is in a healthy snapmirror relationship:

'No SnapMirror relationship found' error:

When the volume include field is populated in array manager, then the following "No SnapMirror relationship found" error may be seen during device discovery:
