2 Planning and best practices
Planning local replication in new SANs
If you have more than one SAN or site, apply the following planning steps to each.
Step 1. Meeting license requirements
Determine the specific arrays in your SAN that need local replication. You need to obtain local replication
licenses for only these arrays.
Determine the license requirements for each array. See ”Managing local replication licenses” on page 13.
Step 2. Choosing interfaces
HP Command View EVA is required and HP Storage System Scripting Utility comes with the array. Choose
other graphical and/or command line interfaces that you will use for replication tasks. See ”Supporting
products and interfaces” on page 8 to match interface capabilities with your needs.
Step 3. List requirements
Use Table 2 to record the local replication licenses and interfaces that you need.
