Saty,

I'm not familiar with Remote Replication Designer. Is that the correct name? The two tools I'm aware of is BCSD and ET Tool for sizing remote replication. Between the two, ET is the only tool specifically designed for sizing MirrorView solutions. If the SAP environment already resides on an EMC array you can use either .btp files (DMX/VMAX) or .nar files (Clariion/VNX) along with a list of replicated devices. If SAP is currently not on an EMC array then you can collect host based data like PERFMON or IOSTAT files. The tool will help you verify you have sufficient bandwidth and what RPO you can expect. It can also do the reverse. If the customer has a specific RPO then the tool can help you determine the bandwidth needed. I highly recommend you size your MirrorView solution.

Also, you should size your SAP landscape. This is separate to the MV sizing. For more information on that go to - https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-11310

The ET tool and Remote Replication Designer are one in the same.
