6.3 Support remote replication feature by controller software version (cont'd)
Feature
Maximum number of virtual disk members of all DR groups per
array
7
Maximum number of virtual disk members per DR group
Maximum combined capacity (in TB) of a DR group's virtual
disk members and those members' snapshots, snapclones, or
mirrorclones
Host HBAs per array
Maximum number of single-member DR groups per array
7
The maximum depends on an array's platform/operating system rules. See "Part III, Host and storage systems rules" of the
HP
SAN
Design Reference Guide
and the Quickspecs for HP P6000 Continuous Access and the applicable array model.
Controller software version
Failsafe on Link-down/Power-up support
Failsafe on Unavailable Member (Failsafe mode)
Force a full copy
Instant restore of virtual disks
6
– Restore data from mirrorclone to source virtual disk
– Restore data from snapshot of mirrorclone to source virtual
disk
– Restore data from snapshot to source virtual disk
Fail over or delete a DR group during normalization
6
In XCS versions 6.2xx and 09501x000 or later, the instant restore of the source DR group member results in a Fast Copy of the new data, not a Full Copy.
7
For best performance when using HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager, do not exceed 512 single-member DR groups and 512 source-destination pairs across all arrays. Other limits may apply.
8
4:1 is only supported when the source of the FAN-out or the target of the FAN-in is a high-end array, which is an array with 4 host ports per controller or 8 host ports per array. Any HP P6000
Continuous Access-supported array can be the target of the FAN-out or the source of the FAN-in.
9
The switch restrictions that previously applied to XCS 09003000 have been removed. See Table 7.0, EVA host connectivity, for details on how to locate switch support information.
