Hello

We're in the process of implementing SRDF/A between two VMAXs in a campus location, connected to 8Gbps baldes in Brocade 48000 Directors,

connected via multiple trunked 9 micron ISLs.

We were required to use a  Port-based routing policy on our SAN islands (rather than the present default Exchanged-based routing ) but have noted

in the SRDF Connectivity Guide that Exchange-based routing is recommended.

We're using port-based routing because it is required for our HP EVA CA (replication) - which doesn't get on with Exchange- based routing.

Eventually, as we migrate off EVA onto VMAX this won't be an issue, but in the meantime, with a need to maintain Brocade port-based routing, will

we compomise using SRDF/A.

If anyone has been in a similar situation or has experience of using different routing policies with EMC we'll be pleased to hear from them.

Hope i've posted this one in the correct section of the forums - please put me straight otherwise.

Thanks

John
