I'd advise not to use host based storage access over the same links as the MirrorView or SRDF. Keep them separated from host access (use different VSANs). Furthermore: don't create 1 large VSAN which stretches over the long ip line. If ip goes down, you will end up with 2 separated VSANs that can't see eachother. When the link comes abck up, you'll have a fabric merge, which can cause some delays (RSCN = Registered State Change Notifications). If now the link goes up-down-up-down-up-down-up, the RSCN process is interrupted each time the link goes down. If you'd use a transit VSAN, no massive amounts of RSCNs will be triggered on the VSANs on either end, just of the ports that make up the link to the transit VSAN.
I have to configure SRDF and Mirrorview over FCIP on Cisco MDS 9513 with Cisco 18/4 FCIP module. I would like to understand do we need to move FA on VMAX or SP Front end port  on Clariion to FC port on FCIP blade. Is it possible to just create create an IVR zone between source FA on blade other than FCIP and target FA on NON-FCIP blade as well. Basically, is it mandatory to have RDF FA/SP Port on FCIP module. Please respond ASAP. Also Can I share SP port on Clariion for host allocation as well as for Mirrorview.
