EVA replication with different CV versions?

Nappy_1 — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:33:07 GMT

EVA replication is running now on 2 EVA4100 with CV 7.
i want to upgrade CV to version 9 on only one EVA.
is it possible without damaging the replication?

If you do not change the firmware on the EVAs, the Command Version does not affect replication. (*)

But you should have Command View 9.1 on both management servers, since currently the only supported firmware is 62x0, and that needs CV 8 or 9.

(*) not by itself, it may have effect if you use RSM to automatize Continous Access.

For replication, CVE should see both EVA's to setup the replication (or change the configuration). So upgrading to CVE 9 you should manage both EVA's with this management system (as CVE 7 is nog able to manage an EVA that has been managed with CVE 9.)
