Query about CA XP - can use different multipath software in two different site.

Team,

One of my client using HP XP SAN array in Production & DR site. Client is planning to use Continuous Access service for data replication services.

Currently in one of the server running Linux Operating System along with multipath software - EMC PowerPath unfortunately.

My question - In the DR site standby server can we run Linux Operating system with Native multipath software or HP Securepath?

Thanks, Ayyappan

Hi Ayyappan,

XP CA is an storage based replication solution and doesnt affect the operating system or the multipath sw.

So I see no reason why you should not use decribed way.

MPIO is probably the most common method.

Have a look at SPOCK which combination is supported for your environment with your XP for your OS.

As mentioned CA is indepent
