Can SRDF/A and SRDF/CE work together

Question

I am not able to find the information on powerlink whether SRDF/A and SRDF/CE can work together.

We have got an application which requires fast IO response at the same time having a remote copy of the data. It is currently configured for SRDF/S but the IO response is not adequate in that mode. We would like to change the RDF/S to SRDF/A if it can work with SRDF/CE.

CE is not a mode, it is the SRDF Cluster Enabler for MSCS.

Hi Shainair

I haven't used it, but my understanding is yes they are compatible, using consistency protection is also an option, version used should be assessed on compatibility I think, I'm sure some one will advise more throughly soon.
