replicated LUNs?
A. FC only
B. iSCSI only
C. Either iSCSI or FC
D. Both FC and iSCSI

Alexeysays:
Virtual RecoverPoint Appliance (vRPA) is a virtual machine that run the RecoverPoint
software. It accesses the repository, journal, production, and copy volumes via the iSCSI
protocol, and therefore do not require any FC infrastructure. One important consideration is
that vRPAs are only available for use with the VNX storage array. vRPAs can replicate any
block data, regardless of how the hosts are connected to the VNX. iSCSI SLICs are required for
the VNX arrays.

Each RPA has the following dedicated interfaces:
− Fibre Channel: Used for data exchange with local host applications and storage subsystems.
The RPA supports a dual-port configuration to the Fibre Channel, providing redundant
connectivity to the SAN-attached storage and the hosts.
− WAN: Used to transfer data to other RPAs.
− Management: Used to manage the RecoverPoint system (Ethernet).
