Network
Description
HyperMetro replication
network
This is the heartbeat
network between the
storage systems in the
two data centers. It
enables the storage
systems to provide
services for hosts
concurrently and
ensures data
synchronization
between them.
NOTE
The storage system sets
link priorities for different
types of information for
transferring data. The link
priority of heartbeat
information is higher than
that of data
synchronization
information.
Network
type
l
Supports 10GE, 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel, and
16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel networks.
NOTE
When using the 10GE network, you are advised
to use the L2 network.
l
Network quality and bandwidth
requirements for deploying the network:
–
Bandwidth: ≥ peak service bandwidth
–
Latency: The maximum supported RTT
is 10 ms (distance < 300 km)
NOTE
In practice, the latency is determined by the
requirements of the application layer. The
active/active solution must meet the
minimum latency requirement. The RTT of
the VMware vSphere applications is less than
10 ms (with a distance of less than 300 km).
The RTT of the SAP HANA applications is
less than 1 ms (with a distance of less than
100 km).
–
No jitter and packet loss
–
BER: ≤ 10
-12
l
The HyperMetro replication network,
storage-to-host network, and quorum
network need to be physically isolated and
common ports are not recommended on
storage devices.
Networking
mode
Each controller of the HyperMetro array has at
least two links and at most four links for
redundancy.
Same-city network
between data centers
The storage systems in
data centers A and B
provide the same
services for hosts. There
is a mutual backup
relationship between the
two storage systems. If
the storage system in
one data center
malfunctions, the
storage system in the
other data center
automatically takes over
services without data
loss or service
interruption.
Network
type
The network uses bare fibers.
