Compatibility Matrix

FluidFS Replication

Note the following information regarding FluidFS replication:

• Replication can be performed from FluidFS v4.x to FluidFS v5.x. As a best practice, replication between

systems running different major versions should be performed only for short-term update scenarios

and is not recommended as a normal operating state.

• Replication partners can differ in network interface speeds (1GB or 10GB) or in memory size (24 GB or

48 GB).

• The FluidFS version determines the way replication is performed, specifically the TCP ports that are

used to communicate between the replication partners. See Table 15. FluidFS Replication TCP Ports

by Source System FluidFS Version for the TCP ports used by each replication protocol level.

Table 14. Supported FluidFS Replication Features lists replication-compatible systems, assuming they

satisfy all other conditions

Table 14. Supported FluidFS Replication Features

Attribute Support

Maximum number of replication partners 100

Maximum number of replicated NAS volumes 1024

Maximum number of concurrent replications (rest are

queued)

10 outgoing and 100 incoming

Maximum replication schedules (as source) 1024

Maximum number of replication bandwidth limiter policies 1023

Single NAS volume to single NAS volume Yes

Single NAS volume to multiple NAS volumes No

Cascading replication of a NAS volume No

FluidFS replication requires that the target-system TCP ports listed in Table 15. FluidFS Replication TCP

Ports by Source System FluidFS Version be accessible, through the firewall, from the source system.

NOTE: For FluidFS v5.x systems replicating to FluidFS v5.x systems, only one TCP port (10560 or

3260) needs to be opened in the firewall for all replication functions.

Table 15. FluidFS Replication TCP Ports by Source System FluidFS Version lists the supported FluidFS

replication TCP ports.
