Wayne,

the Replication Solutions Manager (RSM) is a framework for these tasks:

Looks good. I have been working with SSSU to automate scripts and RSM looks a lot easier. Is it safe to just install on the SMA during business hours or do I need to get HP involved ?

The RSM is much more powerful than simple SSU scripts, I would not call that 'easier'. Anyway.
As with any add-on, I would make a good backup of the SMA before installing anything. The EVA does not depend on the SMA except for management and monitoring.
