Equallogic 6510 Replication Setup.

Hi Team,

i have Equallogic 6510 at both Primary and DR . Priamry and DR site is just 10 meters apart.  and in same Network segment but in different Vlan.

Primary 6510 is like

Dedicated Mgmt 10.10.10.20 / Member ip eth2 is 10.10.10.21

Group ip is 20.20.20.21and eth0/1 are 20.20.20.22 and 23

DR Equallogic is

Dedicated mgmt is 10.10.10.40 and eth2 is 10.10.10.41.

Group IP is 20.20.20.100 and eth0 is 20.20.20.101 and eth1 is 20.20.20.102.

How Replication configuration needs to be done in best practice now. i have Mgmt port conencted to customer network swicth from both Equallogic and Equal data port is connected to 8132F at both end and 8132F both are port channelled .

 

is it the best practice to have primary and DR IP address on same Range or it must be on different Subnet altogether.

how replication would be setup so replictaion traffic must be on  Equallogic dedicated Group ip range/Swicthes .

You would have them on different networks. See http://vmpete.com/2010/10/31/replication-with-an-equallogic-san-part-5/ for the detailed setup of replication with EqualLogic arrays.

The only requirements for replication is that each side must be able to reach every port on both groups.  Not just the Group IP, so things like NAT firewalls can't be used.  Ports for ICMP, and iSCSI (3260) must be open as well.

If you WAN, is setup as a bridge, or on a local subnet it will work fine.   As long as you can solve the problem of getting the data to/from the groups, the array doesn't care how you do it.

Generally speaking DR sites are remote so bridging and IP subnet isn't as common compared to routing to a different subnet.
