The following servers are used to perform replication:

Management Server

Multiple Managed Servers are unified and operated centrally. The Management Server can also be used as a Managed Server.

Figure 7.10 Configuration of the servers that perform replication

Note

  • The following requirements apply when an inter-box replication is performed using the REC function of ETERNUS Disk storage system:

    • The REC function must be supported in both ETERNUS Disk storage systems.

    • Both ETERNUS Disk storage systems must already be connected to each other using an FC Remote Adapter (FCRA).
      This is a connection that uses an FCRA, in which data flows only from the Initiator side to the Target side. For bi-directional copying, at least two FCRA connections are required.

  • When performing a replication between servers, if data needs to be sent to a remote site (e.g., for disaster recovery use at some time in the future) from a duplicated system like a backup server, you need to be careful with the handling of the data in the remote site so that it can be accessed correctly in the future.
