VNXe Replication Network Configuration
Hi all,
I want to the configuration dividing the replication network and data network.
example)
eth2：192.168.10.xx/24（Data traffic）
eth3：192.168.20.xx/24（Replication traffic）
Which configuration is recommended ??
1.Creating a new shared folder server only replication purpose.
2.Adding a different interface to the shared folder server.
Please let me know if you have more detailed Document about the replication network of VNXe.
Best regards.

Hey,
I wrote wrong before. I want to say example A (Dividing the storage server) should be better.
You are right. Absolutely, example A is good in term of fault tolerance. So, if want to perform replication, we can create a special storage server for the replication.

Thank you for your reply.
emc269693 is very helpful information.
Which configuration is EMC's Recommendation ?
Dividing the storage server(Example A) or Having multiple Address for single storage server(Example B).
Example A
=======================================================================
System1 System2
Shared Folder on SPA Shared Folder on SP A
IP1: 192.168.0.xx (replication interface) IP1: 192.168.0.xx (replication interface)
Shared Folder on SP A Shared Folder on SP A
IP1: 192.168.1.xx (Share folder access) IP1: 192.168.1.xx(Share folder access)
=======================================================================
Example B
=======================================================================
System1 System2
Shared Folder on SPA Shared Folder on SPA
IP1: 192.168.0.xx (replication interface) IP1: 192.168.0.xx (replication interface)
IP2: 192.168.1.xx (Share folder access) IP2: 192.168.1.xx (Share folder access)
=======================================================================
Will it no problem either configuration ?
Best regards.

Thank you for reply.
There is one more question at the end.
Please tell me the possible reasons Example B is better.
Are there any materials described is this part somewhere?
By using separate servers for data communication and replication,
I was thinking Example A is good in terms of fault tolerance and load balancing.
Thanks!!
