Hi
How did you setup FC connections between 5240 appliance?
Is this a new configuration or its an old thing that working for you for quite some time?

    Hi Pats, this setup has go live for almost a year with no problem. The fc is connected through an IBM fcip router with zoning configured.

    We can see transactions/traffic going on at the ports connected to the appliance at the fcip router, even now. But there are also large amount of traffic going through the LAN network since who knows when, and it's clearly impacting the replication jobs when capped.

      Possible to post output for this command here on community?
      Main > Settings > FibreTransport Deduplication Show

      Get this output from source and target appliance.

        Hi pats,

        Source:

        .Settings> FibreTransport Deduplication Show
        [Info] Fibre Transport Deduplication is disabled.

         

        Target:

        .Settings> FibreTransport Deduplication Show
        [Info] Fibre Transport Deduplication is enabled.

        I've run the command at other appliances and the result are all like this. Is this normal for the receiving end only to be enabled?
