Have you ever configured an EMC solution to use Recoverpoint 3.1 ?
I'm having a few issues failing back storage following a test and can't find anyone else who's actually attempted this.

I'm afraid not Stuart.
I'd like to put a doc together on SRM with Recoverpoint but I don't have the cycles right now.
I see you've already posted to the SRM community. Hopefully there are some EMC folks monitoring who can help you out.

Thanks mate
Is my desperation that obvious?
We are in the process of opening a couple of support calls 1 for VMware and 1 for EMC
Fingers crossed someone will point out the errors of my ways.
Cheers
