Hi Hussam,  In a dual-fabric setup, if you have 4 SP ports total (2 per fabric) and 4 RPA ports per RPA (2 per fabric), then your zoning will look like this so that the RPA's in each fabric can talk to each other (requirement) and they see an SP port per SP for back-end failover. It is not a requirement to use all SP ports, but the more you use the better the performance will be spread. You do want to see an active and passive SP port per fabric though.   [IMAGE]
Hi all, We are going to deploy recoverpoint with a new vnx 5600. I am wondering what is the best practices to create the required zone between the RPA and VNX SP?  Let's assume there are 4 FE ports per SP(SPA[0,1,2,3],SPB[0,1,2,3]) and 4 FC port per RPA(0,1,2,3)  I found different methods with slightly different zoning configuration as follows: (SPA0 and SPA1 for fabric A/SPB0 and SPB1 for fabric A/RPA port 0 and port 1 for fabric A as well) -zone eache RPA port with all VNX FE ports. So: Zone for RPA port 0 with all FE ports. Zone for RPA port 1 with all FE ports. Zone for RPA port 1 and port 0.  -another configuration: Zone for all RPA ports in fabric A with SPA0 Zone for all RPA ports in fabric A with SPB0. Here we dedicated 2 FE ports for RPA.  Which one is valid or which is better than other.  Many thanks,
