SnapVault over FC

[byermann]

IHAC that really prefers to leverage FC links for replication. As such the question has been raised if a PVR would be considered SnapVault using FC if raised.

I'm not the product manager -- nor do I play one on TV -- but PVR's are always "considered", per se. If the scenario is compelling enough, anything is possible.

Nevertheless, I have not seen this particular scenario supported because it is not a frequent request and when it is, there is not enough of a financial justification. Do note that a workaround for this is to use Protection Manager with preferred interfaces and QSM.

Hope that helps!

Would you be able to provide some detail with respect to the framework that would be required to make this possible?
