Does AIR require matching hardware on both sides?

We're looking at revamping our kinda-sorta "DR site" and moving to AIR at the same time.  This'll be built on NB v9.1 most likely.

I've got Data Domain on both sides right now and am simply using duplication via SLP's right now.  We'd like to move to cheapie commodity storage in the DR site, convert to AIR, and re-use the remote DD in a different role.

Everything I found says OST to OST or MSDP to MSDP for AIR.  Is there a mix & match option?

    Hi Mark_Donaldson 

    Everything you have found is correct. You cannot mix and match with AIR each end must be the same type of storage server (and OST to OST must be the same type - e.g. DD to DD).
