First of, I'm a newbie to CDOT. I have been trained in 7-mode systems, but am needing to plan a CDOT setup.
We will be getting a new FAS2650 (HA) running ONTAP 9.1 and upgrade our existing FAS 2240 (HA) to ONTAP 9.1 as well.
Requirements are simple.
FASSF (in San Fransisco)
FASLA (in Los Angeles)
We will have a 100 Mbps VPN between the two.
I need to have a single UNC share (because of our document management system hard-codes these in a SQL database) for all data, say: \\cifsdata.domain.local\data\
For users in SF, their desktops will take them to the share on FASSF.
For users in LA, their desktops will take them to the share on FASLA.
But, they are both accessing from their machines (and mounting to a drive letter in Windows via SMB v2.1) to \\cifsdata.domain.local\data\.
The data will be synced between sites with a product call PeerLink (on 15-minute intervals). We are using this because we need bi-directional file locking (when opened) as well.
Is this possible? If so, can you tell me how the configuration would go?
