SRM Test Recovery Plan Fails on Preparing Storage

$

I have an evaluation testbed setup with SRM using two EMC Symmetrix arrays (DMX3 protected and VMAX recovery). I have configured SRM to the point of no warnings or errors following the evaluator's guide 4.0. I'm using vCenter and SRM 4.1 on separate boxes (with a separate remote database for each). The arrays have been setup using 2-way mirror devices on a thin pool that is replicated over RAs using SRDF. The SRDF Adapater (installed on top of SE) is on the local vm to each SRM.

 

Here is the error thrown in SRM about 5 seconds after clicking test:

     Prepare Storage for Test
           BLOK-DR-VC-2
           Non-fatal error information reported during execution of SRA: testFailover Output:
08/25 11:02:56  01096  CopyLuns.cpp        0463  CopyLuns::GetCopyInfo

      --      0998  wmain--                                     SRM Test Recovery Plan Fails on Preparing Storage: Failed to test failover luns.
           Exiting with failure   Error:   .

Attached are the SRDF related log snips.

 

My searching has lead me to believe that this is a permissions or XML error, but im not sure where these permissions are missing. I personally think it's the array configuration in that I was never able to mount the replicated away, but that can be reasoned as a feature (so you don't write to a replicated array) or as an error (configuration problem).

 

 

Any ideas? Thanks.
