Brief notes for EMC Recoverpoint deployment

Last year, the company expanded EMC storage and, as needed, deployed EMC Recoverpoint products in two sites connected by leased line to synchronize parts of the data in both locations.

EMC Recoverpoint Products According to my understanding is a data synchronization of the product, in 2 rooms if the deployment of EMC storage and VMware virtualization system, then through Recoverpoint to synchronize the virtualization of the underlying data is pretty good.

It is important to note that Recoverpoint requires that the nodes of the RPA (Recoverpoint device) must be connected to the storage device through the fibre switch, and when the storage LUN is deployed in Vcenter, You must have a LUN that corresponds and must be the same size on both the source and destination to enable synchronization of storage LUNs between 2 different locations.

When the source-side LUN is deployed, the LUN is an available LUN that can be displayed within the VC, and the destination source LUN is an unusable lun, which is not displayed in the VC, but this LUN synchronizes the data on the source-side LUN through Recoverpoint. Once the data on the source-side LUN is compromised, through Recoverpoint's synchronous recovery function, the LUNs on the destination and the source will be transformed, the data can be synchronized, or even the data is not synchronized, the LUNs on the original destination are directly set to be available, and directly linked to the VC for use. At this point, the LUN on the original source will become unusable. This enables data synchronization and recovery of 2 different stores through EMC Recoverpoint.

Is some information about the RPA node:

is a machine room in the RPA node, in fact, is 2 1U rack server, built-in linux based on the underlying recoverpint system, each node must be equipped with 2 ha.

Summary: For EMC Recoverpoint products, if the enterprise is not bad money, personally think that if the enterprise deployed in different computer room EMC storage run virtualization and have 2 of the need to store synchronized data, or a good choice, at the same time, the two places the best is the bare fiber connection, so the effect of synchronization is the best, Because in the actual operation found that if the volume of data is large, the line to run synchronization is still a long time.

To sum up, is the deployment of EMC Recoverpoint product a little personal understanding and experience, if there is no, please advise, welcome you to communicate with me, thank you!
