EMC Recoverpoint
Hi,
I have got two appliances and would like to configure CRR between them.
After logging to the first appliance using (boxmgmt credentials), It gives me an option of configuring 2 sites. I am bit confused on the "Site" analogy here.
Does Site1 mean - local site and
Site 2 - Remote site.
In that case for site 2 do i need to give the details of the second appliance.
Can someone please help with the basic configuration details needed to configure CRR between two appliances.
Appreciate a quick reply.
Thanks & Regards
Ranjit

Ranjit,
The prompt is given since RP can be configured for CDP only which is a single site.. i.e if you answer 1 site you get CDP only... for CRR answer 2.
Site one should have a minimum of two appliances but you can have up to 8 per site. Site two would have a minimum of two appliances..
After you answer the environments prompts ( number of sites, type of replication FC or IP..etc) .. then you have the opportunity to add the ip configuration details..
Have you been to training on this product this is covered in the base installation training. If you have not been trained you should not be installing this product.
Also the Deployment Manager Installation guide has details on these configuration details.

Thanks a lot Rick for the quick response.
A small query...
Is it possible to configure CRR with only one appliance on primary
i.e 1 Appliance on primary and 1 appliance on secondary
If yes then please let me know how "Sites" are configured on these appliances.
Thanks & Regards
Ranjit

For both RecoverPoint and RecoverPoint/SE, you need a minimum of 2 RPA's at each site.
I got that info from the RecoverPoint procedure generator.

Ranjit,
That would not be a supported config as we require HA configs at both sites. We have configured it this way in the past in test labs etc.. but new versions of RP are validating configs prior to installation as well as NDU upgrades code checks so this is no longer something you want to do even in a test lab.
