RecoverPoint for Migration over FC
My Customer has an existing vblock at site A. it's currently replicating to site B, using RecoverPoint over WAN.
Site A: (Cluster 1) site B: (Cluster 2)
VMAX40K (vBlock) --- 5 x RPAs Gen5 ======>> 5 x RPAs Gen5 – Vplex -- VMAX3 AFA
They just bought new VMAX AFA recent at site A, and new RPAs for both sites. And the target config is as below, over WAN as well.
Site A: (Cluster 3) site B: (Cluster 4)
VMAX3 AFA (vBlock) --- Vplex ---- 4 x RPAs Gen6 ======>> 4 x RPAs Gen6 --- Vplex -- VMAX3 AFA
For migration purpose, we want to leverage RP between the Cluster 1 & Cluster 3 over FC. Generally we need to put all cluster 1 FC ports and all cluster 3 FC ports in the same zone. The challenge in this environment is RPAs in Cluster 1 & 3 are on separated vBlock MDS fabrics, so we cant zone them together directly.
The option we are thinking is to connect half of Cluster 1 RPA ports to Cluster 3 RPA fabric. That means half of RPA ports are used for local splitting/journaling, and the other half dedicated for remote replication. Does that sound like a viable solution? if not, what other options we have? Thanks in advance.
