SRA Device Management Service

The process monitors and synchronizes communications between the MD Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) and the
MD storage arrays. Site Recovery Manager (SRM) workload is partitioned between a persistent server and multiple
transient client programs which endure only during a single SRM command. Since multiple SRM commands are likely to
be executed during a single SRM workflow (for example, test failover), clients are used frequently. Servers, however,
running as a Windows Service, persist and manage all communications with storage arrays.
No special configuration other than default values is needed for the server. However, two files can be edited to control
host configuration, socket communication and virtual machine memory:

SraConfigura
tionData.xml

This file resides in the /config directory under the SRA installation directory. The specific
location depends on your installation selections, the default location is C:\Program Files
(x86)\VMware\VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager\scripts\SAN\Dell
\SraConfigurationData.xml .

NesSvc.ini

This Win32 Service initialization file resides in the /win32svc directory under the same SRA
default installation directory as the SraConfigurationData.xml.

Changing Server Settings In SraConfigurationData.xml

The portion of SraConfigurationData.xml file relevant to service configuration is:

<SraService>

<SvcHost>localhost</SvcHost>

<ServicePort>1701</ServicePort>

<ListenBacklog>100</ListenBacklog>

<SraService>

<SvcHost>

Specifies which host the Win32 Service initialization file (NesSvc) runs on. Currently, the only
supported value is localhost. In future releases, it may be possible to share instances of
NesSvc across multiple installations of SRA, which would enhance performance and simplify
cooperation between multiple SRA instances.

<ServicePort
>

Determines which IP port the service uses for socket communications between the client and
server. If another application on your system is already using port 1701 (default port), specify a
different port.

<ListenBackl
og>

Configures a performance property of the port.

NOTE: Modify <ListenBacklog>only in consultation with Dell technical support
personnel.

Changing Virtual Memory In NesSvc.ini

No modifications are necessary to the Windows service initialization file (NesSvc.ini). If recommended by Dell technical
support personnel, virtual memory settings can be changed to:
