RP covers block (FC) but not file (NFS/CIFS)

Is the end goal a migration to VNX from NetApp, or is this for DR ? Which is the target/source ?

interesting, you first posted a thread looking for solutions to migrate from VNX to NetApp. You have since deleted that post (and my reply) and now asking for "replication" solution.  Yeahhhhh.

Hello Dynamox,

Yes, that was part of plan till yesterday and not now. Migrating to EMC would be final plan. If you think you can provide an answer, you can try or else request you to not post any unnecessary statements.

You mention RecoverPoint which is a block replication, but also specify NetApp NAS.  Can you provide any details?  Is this block or file you are replicating, and if it's file, some details there too - what NAS protocals are you using?

By replication, is this a continuous replication, a one time deal, once per day -- what is your RPO.  Local within a data center, long distance, what's the pipe size, do you have a budget, etc

There are many options out there, it depends on what you're trying to do.

i would like to hear that final plan, maybe i can help ?

For CIFS file migration.   EMC put out a good white paper for Isilon but a lot of the information applies to file migration in general and the tools like emcopy and robocopy.    Do a search on support.emc.com and find the latest copy of

"SMB FILE MIGRATION TO EMC ISILON"    that is if CIFS shares are involved in your project.
