Got you, thanks for this.
For some reason our RC snaps had a dash showing instead of a CPG.
What do the pros do with Async replication? Have a Copy Group for say 30mins RPO, 1hr RPO, then another for 4hrs perhaps? Or do they group them as HPE suggest with application/similar functions per copy group?
One thing I cannot get used to is that with our old Compellents, the replication would replicate all the snapshots for the volumes from the source array too, more like a virtual copy of each VV over the wire, which is more useful to us than just the latest version of the VV being copied over.
I had setup VVols with vSphere and came to the conclusion it was still not what I would call production ready. (IMO)
Really appreciate your replies, its tough setting it all up from scratch on your own!..
I liked the sound of Async streaming, but on an 8200 it seems it is not an option, plus we have 500mbps between our SAN locations, even though the latency is nice and low at 2/3ms.
