Hi @Greeshma21

It didn't have MSA 2060. Did you have other kb that might be helpful for me ?

Hello@Khenobiada,

Yes, at least one FC switch is required on both (primary and remote) systems to connect the MSA arrays and enable replication over the FC fabric. To enable communication between arrays, the switches must be able to peer with one another.

Hope this helps!

Hello@Khenobiada,

Please check the below link for information about how to create peer connections and replications between two systems.
https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00128580en_us&docLocale=en_US (SMU Page No. 46)
https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00105313en_us&docLocale=en_US (CLI Page No. 73&76)

NOTE: The prerequisites must be met before creating a peer connection and replication between two systems.
Replication whitepaper, which will hopefully help with typical setup.

Hello@Khenobiada,

Yes, you must perform zoning between the switches and MSA controllers.

Hello @venkat_y 

Okay, I'll try to add the WWN of these 2 MSAs to the SAN Switch and then give you feedback.


Thanks
