I understand you have two P2000 G3 array and both controllers having 10GB iSCSI port. Yes you can configure remote replication between them as well. Remote replication between two P2000 G3 box not limited to only Combo controllers. It can be FC or iSCSI or Combo but not for SAS model as SAS models cannot communicate one to another one, they have a host SAS connection only.

FC or iSCSI implementation depends upon the distance between the arrays means cost factor. Deployments include:
•Across geographic distance over Ethernet
•Across “campuses”over FC

Please refer the following to get more information,

That depends upon customer's choice whether they want to do replication manually or automatically. Just refer to Remote snap technical Cookbook and page 32 to get the procedure of how to do that.
