VNX Unified Multi Site Replication - 3 Nodes
Hi Guys ,
We have a requirement to implement a 3 node replication solution on VNX 5200 unified.
The current solution is :
VNX1 ---CIFS Replication----> VNX2
Failover works really well , back and forth etc.
Moving to :
VNX1 ---CIFS Replication----> VNX2
VNX1 ---CIFS Replication----> VNX3
This all works really well for replication and the R/O replica's. VNX3 is used a Backup provider and data mining R/O endpoint.
However in the event of DR or more often periodic failover testing , the replication solution is failed over from VNX1--- >VNX2
Can we have the replication automatic for VNX2 to then continue the replication to VNX3 ? when VNX2 is made primary ?
I can't setup a replication from VNX2 to VNX3 as the FS is read only when the replication is running from VNX1----> VNX2
We aren't using Replication Manager currently either.
Many Thanks
Neil
