Replication Error
Hi,
I have been happily replicating volumes from one PS4100 to our DR PS4100 in another building for the last few years.
Recently i was asked to create a few more volumes and asked to replicate these also.
When i try to create the replication for these volumes I get the error message "Maximum number of replicating volumes was reached"".
I cannot find anything written about this error message anywhere and I had no idea we had limits for this.
Currently i am replicating 28 volumes at various time intervals daily, weekly or monthly.
Can anyone help me please?
thanks
Jhae.

Hello Jhae,
The PS4xxx series being a lower cost configuration, has lower system maximums than all other Dell PS Series arrays.
If you refer to the firmware release notes for your firmware version, there is a Table called "Configuration Maximums" That lists these limits.
Only adding in a PS6xxx series array into each group will expand these limits.
Regards,
Don

If your groups are comprised entirely of PS4xxx, then up to 32 volumes can have replication enabled. With a PS6xxx, that maximum increases to 256.
Aside from that, PS4xxx groups can maintain 128 replicas per volume. PS6xcxx groups can maintain 512 replicas per volume.
Good luck.
