SWITCH

The illustration above depicts the utilization of the iSCSI host ports for remote data replication. This

type of connection allows you to get the full benefits of high-speed FC host link, management LAN

connection, and robust link for data protection (volume copy/mirror).
Two hybrid systems, a source system and a target system, reside within the same virtual pool but are

physically apart. You can create a volume copy/mirror pair for data protection without relying on slow

management LAN cable connections. In such case, you can link the hybrid systems using iSCSI host

ports. If the distances between systems are far, additional switches may be required.

Use EonOne to configure the volume copy/mirror settings. EonOne automatically detects the iSCSI data

connection for data replication.
