Dual controller configuration
The following illustrations provide conceptual examples of cabling to support Remote Snap replication.
Once the P2000 G3 MSA Systems are physically cabled, see the SMU reference guide or online help for
information about configuring, provisioning, and using the optional Remote Snap feature.
NOTE:
See HP P2000 G3 MSA System SMU Reference Guide for more information about using Remote
Snap to perform replication tasks. SMU’s Replication Setup Wizard guides you through replication setup.
