FC storage Replicating to ISCSI

[shad_]

Could you please provide guidance on how to set up replication between an FC storage system at our primary site and an iSCSI storage system at our DR site?

Both storage units are MSA Gen 7 models. I would appreciate any advice or documentation you can share regarding the configuration steps for this setup.

Hi @shad_ 
Please go through the link: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=dp00005403en_us&docLocale=en_US
It could help you set up replication between an FC storage system. If not, let me know, and I will try to share the steps.

Thank you for sharing the insightful link.

Could you please also share the steps and any available videos? I will keep

Because the connection at my primary site is FC and the connection at the DR site is ISCSI.

Hello@shad_,

To establish a replication between the two HPE MSA 2070 systems, you should use the same protocols on both sides (either FC-to-FC or iSCSI-to-iSCSI).

Please refer to the link below for clear information on how to establish peer connections and replication between two systems.

https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=dp00005403en_us&docLocale=en_US (page 45-53)

There are informative videos available on the HPE support site that demonstrate how to establish peer connections and replication on both systems (HPE MSA 2050, 2060, and 2070 systems)

Thank You!

@venkat_y I believe I may have overlooked a requirement during my initial purchase and am currently unable to proceed with the setup.

Are there any third-party software options available that I can integrate into the system to allow the replication to move forward?

Hello@shad_,

Thank you for your patience.

If you didn't receive any suggestions from experts, please reach out to HPE Support. They will suggest the exact method for creating replication between HPE MSA 2070 FC and HPE MSA 2070 iSCSI systems.

Hi

if your operating system is Vmware you could replicate at the OS level

Vmware can do it also by using VEEAM you can do it.

if you use VEEAM just for replication I think you do not

need a license.

Give a KUDO if this helps
