Hi Chris,

     As per your requirement of configuring iSCSI disk more than 2TB which requires drive to be spanned or dynamic on windows.

As per Replication manager support matrix, Dynamic disks are not supported.

When you add another virtual disk for existing iSCSI filesystem, it creates new LUN under same filesystem and provides different LUN number altogether.

While trying to discover dynamic disk on windows even though it has same drive signature, but VNXe keeps two different signature for the same. Now Replication Manager marks that as Dynamic drive and fails to replicate Dynamic drive.

Hi

If you want to  replicate anything more than 2TB then you will have to configure through file replication,be cause it will allow you  to replicate a file system which is more than 2TB unlike ISCSI where you will hit the 2TB limitation.

Thanks

Thanks for the information guys. Would I be right in saying that as a result of re-creating the replication set within RM I would need to perform a full replication as if it was the first time it had been replicated?

Thanks,

Chris

Sorry for confusion or not providing exact resolution.

Replication for Dynamic disk with Replication manager is not supported. Saying that you won't be able to configure replication for a dynamic disk.

So as per your statement it has to be full replication in above post asked by Chris, if I am right ?

Thnx
