Software
(G3 FC and FC/iSCSI
controllers only)
HP StorageWorks P2000 Remote Snap Software is array based software that provides
remote replication on the HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 MSA Array Fibre Channel of
FC/iSCSI Combo products. HP Remote Snap is a form of asynchronous replication which
consists of replication of block-level data from a volume on a local system to a volume that
may be on the same system or on a second independent system. This second system may
be collocated with the first system or may be located at a remote site.
HP Remote Snap functionality is based on existing Snapshot technology offered by HP
P2000 SAN Array products. Snapshots are used to track the data to be replicated as well
as to determine the differences in data updated on the master volume, minimizing the
amount of data to be transferred.
HP Remote Snap replication technology provides the ability to accomplish key data
management and protection capabilities. First, because Remote Snap uses snapshots as
the underlying technology it creates multiple local recovery points which can be used for
such tasks as to complement daily backups; second, replication provides the ability to
access data in a remote site which could be used for dispersed operations; and third but
definitely not least important replication allows for business continuance in the event of a
failure on the primary site.
In order to perform a replication, a snapshot of the volume to be replicated is taken, creating
a point-in-time image of the data. This point-in-time image is then replicated to the
destination volume by copying the data represented by the snapshot via a transport
medium such as TCP/IP (iSCSI) or Fibre Channel. The amount of data transferred is
minimized though the use of snapshots whenever possible.
