SRA - unmap source volumes from hosts during failover

source volumes are only unmapped from the hosts during SRM "reprotect" operation instead of during "failover" operation

    Conclusion:

    • Map to new / unmap from old on "reprotect" is the expected behavior

    • SRM does not expect the device to unmap during "failover" and this is not possible during an unplanned failover.

    According to A9000 SRA documentation this functions the same on A9000.

    Please contact us with any questions.

    Based on our investigation, this appears to be functioning as intended and providing the expected functionality for SRM. It also appears to match the A9000 SRA behavior.

    I will follow up separately via email to get more information.

    Thanks,
