SRM: Automatically rename your datastore back

When doing a failover with SRM your VMFS Datastores get labeled with a “snap-xxxxxxx-name” because they’ve been resignatured. Mike Laverick gave this tip on the VMTN forum which enables you to automatically rename your datastores to it’s original name again:

Edit the vmware-dr.xml file in the C:\Program Files\Site Recovery Manager\Config directory and look for a line that reads:

  • <fixRecoveredDatastoreNames>false</fixRecoveredDatastoreNames>

Change it to:

  • <fixRecoveredDatastoreNames>true</fixRecoveredDatastoreNames>
