VNXe 2-way Remote Replicaiton
Is there a way to have 2 remote VNXe systems replicate a file share, and keep writable copies at both locations?
In a single replication session, can I configure:
Changes at SITE-A are replicated to SITE-B
changes at SITE-B are replicated to SITE-A
No Events found!

Hey,
You cannot configure two replicas for the source VNXe, and cannot write the replica when the source is normal. Please refer to below picture:
Before the failover, the source is read-wirte and the replica is read-only; but once the data has been failed over to the destination, the replica becomes read-write and the source becomes read-only. Then after the failback, the source change back to read-write and replica change back to read-only. Hope this help you to understand VNXe replication.

No, you aren't able to set the both sides writable. In general, there is write/read in the source side, the destination side is only able to be read.
