Thanks Todd,

This is a real showstopper for us. If we can't create the volume replication and then move the bulk of the data out of band it will take too long to synchronise over the 1-2Meg links we are talking about using and would take days to replicate the 35Gig volume we are testing with. The subsequent Asynch incrementals are fine but not the initial provisioning. If we did a LAN replication and then moved the array to the DR site all is ok but what if we need to add another volume in the future? In all other areas the Open-E was ideal but I will have to try something else.
Cheers,

Paul
