When using an SVC with Native IP Replication which of the following is correct?
A.
Requires an optional additional Ethernet adapter
B.
Does not support encrypted or compressed data
C.
Supports only synchronous mirroring
D.
Supports mirroring from SVC to any other members of the Storwize family
D
The native Internet Protocol (IP) replication feature enables replication between any SVC/Storwize family member running code version 7.2 or higher, using the built-in networking ports of the cluster nodes. Following a recent partnership with IBM, it uses SANslide technology developed by Bridgeworks Limited of Christchurch, UK. They specialize in products that can bridge storage protocols and accelerate data transfer over long distances. Adding this technology at each end of a wide area network (WAN) Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) link significantly improves the usage of the link. It does this by applying patented Artificial Intelligence (AI) to hide latency normally associated with WANs. Therefore, doing so can greatly improve the performance of mirroring services, in particular Global Mirror with Change Volumes (GM/CV) over long distances. More details are provided in 1.4, “SVC/Storwize IP replication in more detail” on page 7.
