Hi,

I have questions for this implemenation :

RecoverPoint/SE (VNX Splitter) last version

2 sites - FC replication between sites - 2 SAN Fabrics (stretched between sites)

1 RPAs Cluster per Site - 2 RPAs per Cluster

- Mgmt ethernet port connected

- No WAN ethernet port connected (is it ok ?)

4 HBAs ports per RPA - Fabric attached (no direct attachement on VNX)

Connection Questions

I plan to connect

RPA1_p0, RPA1_p1, RPA2_p0 and RPA2_p01 to Fabric1

RPA1_p2, RPA1_p3, RPA2_p2 and RPA2_p03 to Fabric2

or is this one is the good cabling ??

RPA1_p0, RPA1_p2, RPA2_p0 and RPA2_p02 to Fabric1

RPA1_p1, RPA1_p3, RPA2_p1 and RPA2_p03 to Fabric2

Zoning Question

1 - I need to zone RPAs to Storage (VNX)

2 - I need to zone RPAs to RPAs in the same cluster

3 - I need to zone RPAs Site1 to RPAs Site 2

what is the best practice ?

Is the FC ports (2 per RPA (1 on each SAN Fabric)) used for FC Replication between sites have to be reserved for this fonction only ?

is there a specific port for FC Replication or any port is OK ?

I plan to create

1 zone : Site1_RPAs_VNX_Fabric1

All RPA1 and RPA2 HBA ports + All VNX ports (SPA and SPB) (except port0 (MirrorView port) on each SP)

this zone will assume point 1 and 2

(the same zone for Fabric2 : Site1_RPAs_VNX_Fabric2)

(the same configuration for Site 2)

AND

1 zone : RPAs_Replication_Fabric1

RPA1 and RPA2 HBA ports used for Replication on each site on Fabric1

this zone will assume point 3

(the same zone for Fabric2 : RPAs_Replication_Fabric2)

Finaly i will have 4 ports (2 per RPAs) connected on Storage and 4 ports (2 per RPAs) used for replication (if these ports have to be reserved for this fonction only).

Thank you for your time passed on this thread
