Replication error

Hi,

I've 2 SAN Equalogic, one being used as storage for VM host and the other one is in mode standby in case of issue. Thers is a replication from SAN 1 to SAN 2 in one way. SInce 3 moths, I've this error message and I'm unable to fix it. 

Thanks,

Jimmy

Hi Don,

Indeed, it happens only during replication.

Thanks

Just to reinforce what Don is saying, recently we had a layer 1 issue with our fiber link to our target site we were replicating to, and it caused retransmit thresholds to be exceeded.  One the physical link was corrected, everything resumed and the retransmit rate went down to nearly zero.

Hi Don,

It isn't a WAN but LAN link and it seems it could be the fiber link between the 2 SAN.

We keep in touch,

Thanks,

Jim
