About emc unity 600 replication
We have two Unity 600 backup units.
Management, Synchronous management and FC Ethernet ports were provided.
We want to make synchronous replication using FC Ethernet (4th Port).
FC Ethernet Connected to Dell N4032F switch.
Dell N4032F switch works on local network. Only fc connected ethernets.
With FC Ethernet, Management and Synchronized management threads do not reach each other due to different switches.
We are getting an error in the test runs.
How can we overcome this problem?

Hi taylan@ln.com.tr
I am very very confused with your post as you talk about FC Ethernet, which doesn't really exist unless you are talking about FCoE, etc. Otherwise, in this context, it's either FC or Ethernet.
Unity uses Ethernet for async replication and the management traffic, but sync rep is all of ver FC, not Ethernet.
Looking briefly at your switch it seems to be Ethernet only, not FC. So sync rep will never work here.
If you mean you have Eth setup for the sync management interfaces, and FC for the actual connection, then remember that the FC replication ports are the first FC ports on the system, and these need to be zoned to the other array on your FC switch.
I would recommend starting here:
