Isilon Failover Preparation Phase Question
Hi Everyone.
Based in the document "Best Practice for Data Replication with EMC ISILON SyncIQ" .. mentions the next:
---
Failback consists of three phases. Each phase should complete beforee proceeding.
1. Run the preparation phase (resync-prep) on the source Cluster A to ready it to receive intervening
changes from the target cluster. This phase creates a read-only replication domain, restores the last know
good snapshot and creates a SyncIQ policy on the target policy appended with '_mirror', that is used to failback
the dataset. During this phase, clients are still connected to the target.
---
The text in Bold: "Creates a SyncIQ policy on the target policy appended with '_mirror".
Can someone say me what smart connect Pool or ip address is selected when this SyncIQ Policy is created in the target ? ...
Thank you.

7.1.1.x:
It targets a IP-Address
of the source replication subnet. Not the Smartconnectzone IP, not the Smartconnectzone Name of the source, no just a random IP from that pool (i guess the IP that answers to the nslookup of the smartconnectzonename, so the choosing is related to your smartconnect policy)
(Designflaw in my opinion, filed a FR a while ago)
