One thing to note, when using Mirroview/A, the initial sync actually uses a SANCopy/Full like push. IO workload of the MV/A session should be similar to a SANCopy/Full job which I assume would be Sequential in nature. I believe MV and Snapview also use 64KB IO sizes, though I’m not entirely positive.  Richard J Anderson
Hello everyone, Someone currently using or have used MirrorView /A?  I just implemented a configuration at work and during the initial full sync, based on the Performance Monitor on my FC switches and on the FC SP port using Analyzer on the secondary array the Total Bandwidth (MB/s) during the sesion was around 100 Mbps.  CX4-480 @ 8Gbps with FC switches @ 8 Gbps ---> CX3 @ 4 Gbps with FC switches @ 4 Gbps All MirrorView SP ports (A5, B5, A7 and B7) are hard set to 4 Gbps.  My question is: Is 100 Mbps an acceptable speed during a initial sync (High Synchronization Rate)?  I appreciate your help!  wrios
