In this recipe, we will learn how to replicate Microsoft Windows Server to a remote site's Cisco UCS Server by using EMC MirrorView/A.
In this example, there are two datacenters, local and remote sites. Assume that they are installed on a Cisco UCS 5108 Chassis with a Cisco UCS B200 M3 and two Cisco UCS 6248 Fabric Interconnect on each site. Each Fabric Interconnect is connected to two pairs of FC SAN Switches and two pairs of Ethernet LAN Switches. EMC VNX5200 is connected to Cisco UCS B200 M3 through two FC SAN Switches. You have installed Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 on each UCS B200 M3 in SAN boot.
The hardware configuration of the remote site is the same as the local site and there are two pairs of ISL, which is the Dark Fibre on each FC Switch between both local and remote sites. The following diagram shows the details:
The following table lists the details of each device component:
