Hi all,

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?

Regards
