Hi, As long the DS LUNs are presented through VPLEX and the VPLEX virtual volumes are replicated by RP with VPLEX Splitter, there's no issue with replicating from VMAX to that VPLEX (DS BE array) and vice versa. It is fully supported to have one splitter type on a production copy and another splitter type on a replica copy (assuming you're running RP 4.x, prior to RP 4.0, there were some restrictions around splitter interoperability - mainly with intelligent fabric splitters. This is documented in the release notes of the respective RP release). Consequently, the remote replica can be on the VMAX or the VPLEX (DS). Make sure that the journal and replica performance can be sustained by the respective arrays (the array housing the journal volumes can be a different array than the one housing the replica volumes).  Regards, Idan
Hi All,  I have following scenario. Appreciate if I can have any expert opinions on this.  Site A: VMAX 10K IBM DS8800  Site B: VMAX 10K IBM DS8800  Q1: Is it possible to have CDP replica of production LUNs of VMAX onto the same site IBM DS8800? Q2: Is it possible to have CDP replica of IBM DS8800 production LUNs onto same site VMAX? (using VPLEX as the splitter in front of IBM DS) Q3: Whats the design option(s) for remote replica?  Thanks
