Replication

[transtecfr]

Hello,

I need additional information about replication:
- is the replication bidirectionnal ? (for synchronous)
- I saw in manuall that the replication can't manage volume over 4 Tb ? This is true ? For waht kind of replication ? Volume / File or Block ?

Thanks !

The DSS V6 latest version will support volumes to be replicated up to 16TB and you can many this is done synchronous from Source to Destination for all types of volumes NAS or iSCSI (Block IO or File IO).

So we have no bidirectionnal réplication ?

Another Question: can we replicate with Fiber Channel ?

Another Question: can we replicate with Fiber Channel ?

Yes, but not(yet) failover on FC

[transtecfr]

So, can I replicate by FC and failover with ethernet ? (data access by iSCSI, replication by FC, and heartbeat by ethernet)

And is the replication bidirectionnal ?

[To-M]

Only with iSCSI volumes can you use the Auto Failover, in terms of Bidirectional do you mean someone writes to source then it replicates to destination and then someone writes to the destination then overwrites to the source? If so that would not be a good idea for obvious reasons.

Or do you mean can you have some volumes as source and some volumes as destination? That we can do and replicate them as well.

Thanks for your answer !
