    First, there will be the Async then sync will come.

    Yes, we want to be able to fail back in the easiest possible manner.

    I don't think Snapshot replication will be part of the first drop.

     

    Please contact me in PM so we can discuss the use-cases.

    Thank you very much for the prompt reply This was a query from Unity/Powerstore customer . They wanted to know if the CSI driver will support full features of the replication technologies 

    when PVC is provisioned need to be replicated  either SYNC or ASYNC or local replication

    SNAPSHOT replications 

    Ability to pause resume replications as needed

    failover failback in the event of a disaster at the source site.
