Continuous Protection Server Configurations (Success Stories)

[David_Polvere]

I am wondering how people are setting up their CPS environments. I have 2 servers and 2 EMC AX100i (iscsi) SANS and i am trying to use CPS from 1 SAN to the other. Each server has an iscsi hba connected to a dedicated iscsi network. Each server also has a network connection to the lan. Server 1 has 3 (virtual) drives (on SAN 1) with a total of 300gb of data. Server 2 has 1 (virtual) drive (on SAN 2) with 500gb of space. Server 2 has BE10d & CPS setup. Server 1 has the CPS agent. I would like to run a continuous sync from server 1 to server 2. When i try the Sync takes forever to finish. I don't think it actually finishes.

When you have a continuous sync, every time a file changes, does all the data get sync'd again or just what has changed?

Is CPS designed for this type of setup?

Can CPS run just over the dedicated iscsi lan?

Should i be looking for another product?

It appears that maybe you should since no one answered or showed in any interest in answering your post. jk
