Remote Instant Replay
Establishing Physical Connectivity
Both the Replicating System and the Remote system must have front end port visibility for
the desired Replication type. These ports may be in the form of iSCSI or FC depending on
the connectivity choice.
WWN visibility of the front-end ports on controllers between the Remote Connection and
Replicating Systems must include both Primary and Reserved ports (from dual controller
systems) to withstand failovers. Replication messaging uses any and all connections
between the systems; however, only Primary ports carry replication data to the Remote
Connection system.
Remote FC cards are automatically recognized.
