i have a question about VPLEX and RecoverPoint CGs.
A customer want this configuration: 2 CGs on VPLEX (each with their own virtual volumes) on only 1 CG on RecoverPoint (with volumes of both VPLEX CGs).
In this way the rp validate-configuration command report
Validating that RecoverPoint enabled VPLEX consistency groups are aligned with RecoverPoint consistency groups ERROR
2 consistency group(s) are not aligned:
USVMWPVI_SFARM2_VR1_Ara2
USVMWPV_SFARM_VR1_Ara2
And the recoverpoint GUI report:
WARNING: RecoverPoint copy contains volumes from more than one VPLEX consistency group. It is recommended a RecoverPoint copy contain volumes from only one VPLEX consitency group. VPLEX consistency group: Set(USVMWPVI_SFARM2_VR1_Ara2,USVMWPV_SFARM_VR1_Ara2) ; Arabella_VPX_2
Is this a valid configuration? if not why customer should use 1:1 (VPLEX-RP CGs) configuration?
A customer want this configuration: 2 CGs on VPLEX (each with their own virtual volumes) on only 1 CG on RecoverPoint (with volumes of both VPLEX CGs).
a clarification:
2 CGs on VPLEX (each with their ownserver and virtual volumes) on only 1 CG on RecoverPoint (with volumes of both VPLEX CGs)
Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility. Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and can go unanswered for a long time.
You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right. Then search for and select: "Replication Support Forum".
It can be done but you will get an alignment warning on VPLEX and recoverpoint. I have a customer that have 1 CG on VPLEX and the virtual volumes split in that CG split between 2 recoverpoint CGs. It works but it is not best practise.
