The Disaster Recovery Configuration Wizard or the Fire Drill Wizard cannot proceed when configuring an application in an EMC SRDF replication environment

When configuring an application for disaster recovery (DR) or for fire drill (FD) in an EMC SRDF replication environment, the wizard might encounter an issue and fail to proceed. (3412223, 3384096)

The wizard might display the following error:

This issue occurs when the wizard is unable to parse a SYMCLI output (XML file) that describes the replication configuration.

Workaround: To resolve this issue, ensure that the replication array is configured correctly.

Then, run the following EMC Symmetrix command on the system where you want to configure the application for DR or FD:

If the generated XML is valid, it indicates that the array is configured correctly. Launch the wizard again to configure DR or FD.

If the generated XML is invalid or if you still encounter this error when running the wizard, you might want to configure DR or FD manually.
