SQL Server DR with Snapcenter

$

In the past, with SMSQL and Snapdrive, the recovery of SQL was pretty simple.  During failover testing we would shutdown prod SQL VM, take volumes offline, clone the snapmirror of the SQL ISCSI volumes, and power on clone of SQL.  We'd run the command line snapdrive commands to mount the clones on the host in the same mountpoints as before and reboot

 

Voila...SQL all recovered....

 

However, with Snapcenter, I know there are some commands for snapcenter agent on the SQL server, but its a terrible mess of commands that I haven't worked out yet.

The only thing I can think of is that to do this I would need to recover the clone of snapcenter, recover the clone of SQL server (with no disks) and then manually use snapcenter to delete and re-add the ISCIS volumes on DR to the VM....

 

Thats horribly inefficient when time is of the essence.

Is there a better way that I am just not thinking about?
