File Mobility for file replication
To perform File replication configure File Mobility in PowerStore Manager, and at least one Storage network for replication on the switches. File Mobility runs over the Management network on the management switch. The Replication network runs over the two Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches to communicate with the remote system.
| Identifier | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Node A Management port to Management switch |
| 2 | Node B Management port to Management switch |
| 3 | Node A connection to Bottom Top-of-Rack Switch 1 |
| 4 | Node B connection to Bottom Top-of-Rack Switch 2 |
| 5 | Bottom, Top-of-Rack Switch 1 connection to the remote system |
| 6 | Top, Top-of-Rack Switch 2 connection to the remote system |
| 7 | Connection to the remote system |
The Replication network can be used for both Block and File storage replication. File replication can run over an existing Storage network that has been tagged for Replication. To configure a Replication network, see Configuring PowerStore storage networks with Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 Top-of-Rack switches .
NOTE:If the Replication network is also being used for Block Import only the Replication portion of the network, with File Mobility, is used for replication of File storage.
