Cannot remove an Array Pair from within VLSR Recovery UI.

Products

• VMware Live Recovery

Issue/Introduction

•  Powering off a storage/replication array before disabling the Array Pairs in SRM, doesn't allow the pair to then be disabled and removed after the fact.

Environment

VMware Live Site Recovery 9.0.x

Cause

• The Array Pair reference has not been disabled, before removing array.
• The Array Pair cannot be disabled or removed from with VLSR Recovery UI.

Resolution

• Manually use the SRM cmdline utility /opt/vmware/srm/dbtool/SrmDbTool.py to identify and delete the array pair.
• ssh to the VLSR appliance as root.
                         
                          # python /opt/vmware/srm/dbtool/SrmDbTool.py query ArrayPair
                          # python /opt/vmware/srm/dbtool/SrmDbTool.py delete ArrayPair XXXXX
