PowerStore provides native asynchronous replication solutions to protect data and help organizations meet business goals for both data availability and protection. Supported storage resources for native asynchronous replication are volumes, volume groups, thin clones, NAS servers, and file systems. The replication itself uses iSCSI- or the optimized Dell proprietary TCP-based replication protocol through Ethernet (LAN) connections that was introduced in PowerStoreOS 3.0.
When configuring replication, it is recommended that you use different physical ports for replication and front-end Ethernet storage traffic. A specific storage network for replication can be created and mapped to the desired physical ports for replication.
