How to design 6 engine VMAX FA Port groups with RecoverPoint using VMAX splitter?
There is limit of 32 FA ports in a Replication Port Group so what is best way to balance FA ports?
Connecting all Engine/Director FA "0" ports to SAN Fabric A and "1" ports to SAN Fabric B.
I am planning below Port Groups base Design with 4 Ports Port Groups and create more by including all FA(e,f,g,h).
FA_3_5_12_14_RP_PG for Replication Port Group 1(All 32 Ports)
| 3eA_5fA_12gB_14hB_PG |
| 3fA_5gA_12hB_14eB_PG |
| 3gA_5hA_12eB_14fB_PG |
| 3hA_5eA_12fB_14gB_PG |
FA_6_7_10_11_RP_PG for Replication Port Group 2(All 32 Ports)
| 6eA_7fA_10gB_11hB_PG |
| 6fA_7gA_10hB_11eB_PG |
| 6gA_7hA_10eB_11fB_PG |
| 6hA_7eA_10fB_11gB_PG |
For Non Replicated Hosts
| 4eA_8fA_9gB_13hB_PG |
| 4fA_8gA_9hB_13eB_PG |
| 4gA_8hA_9eB_13fB_PG |
| 4hA_8eA_9fB_13gB_PG |
Any Thoughts?

As per my previous response, the limit which is imposed by ORS is two ports for director with a maximum number of 32 directors. Therefore I make that 64 ports in total.

from RecoverPoint with VMAX splitter Deployment guide-
Notice: Open Replicator does not support LUNs that are exposed to more than 32 FA ports. If a LUN attached the Symmetrix splitter is exposed to more than 32 FA ports, the consistency group will not be replicated.

Correct. This is what I add as a additional FYI in my previous e-mail. So if the intention is to expose a LUN to all 64 ports then this is not possible. Of course, LUNs can be exposed to less or different FA ports.
