EVA 6000 replication to EVA 6000 showes foreign disk

[Richard Selke]

We have a EVA 600 primary storage unit. We are setting up a DR sight. We have another EVA 6000 in the DR sight. When we run replication to the dr site, it replicates with no problem. When we try to present a server to the replicated drive it shows the drive as foreign. It will not let us import foreign drive. It will not let us convert to basic. Is there a work arround to repair this? Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2003 makes no difference. Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2008 makes no difference. Thanks Rick

Hi.
While replication is established between a pair of EVAs, the destination vdisk is inaccessible to the remote host.
If you present a replication disk to a host, in the "presentation tab" for the replicated d vdisk you must see "Host access - None (DR destination)".
Only when you make a "failover" for the DR Group you can access in read/write mode to the vdisk.
I hope this can help you.
Regards.
