SRDF and IP addresses

Consty,

Each Gig-E port requires its own IP. Presumably, each of your arrays has four Gig-E ports, so you need four IP addresses per array.

If there is a router/switch between sites (which there should be), the arrays will form a "mesh" of TCP sessions between each other -- each port from "Array1" will establish a TCP session to all ports on "Array2." So with four ports/IPs per array, you'll end up with sixteen TCP sessions, and the arrays will balance replication traffic across these sessions.

Thanks,

Thanks a lot for your answer !

What will happen if we only use 2 IP ? Will it work somehow or not ?

Thanks

Consty,

2 IP will work if you only use 2 out of 4 directors.  I think Sean has already explained this

Hello,

Thanks all of you for your answers.

My next question is to know the minimum bandwidth used for asynchronous SRDF .

Thanks
