Title Month Year * This slide describes the data flow from the application host to the production volumes, and how the RecoverPoint appliance accesses the data as part of the CRR process. Note to Presenter:Click now in Slide Show mode for animation. An application server issues a write to a LUN that is being protected by RecoverPoint. This write is “split,” then sent to the RecoverPoint appliance in one of two ways: Note to Presenter:Click now in Slide Show mode for animation. The first way is through a host splitter. This host splitter resides in the I/O stack, residing below any file system and volume manager, and just above any multi-path driver such as EMC PowerPath . The splitter looks at the destination for the write packet. If it is to a LUN that RecoverPoint is protecting, the splitter will send a copy of the write packet to the RecoverPoint appliance. It does this by rewriting the target address inside the packet to redirect it to the RecoverPoint appliance’s pseudo-LUN, and reissuing the write down the stack. Note to Presenter:Click now in Slide Show mode for animation. The second way is through an intelligent fabric switch, such as the Cisco MDS 9000 with the SSM module with SANTap. The switch will intercept all writes to LUNs being protected by RecoverPoint, and will send a copy of that write to the RecoverPoint appliance. In either case, the original write travels though its normal path to the production LUN. Note to Presenter:Click twice in Slide Show mode for animation. When the copy of the write is received by the RecoverPoint appliance, it is immediately acknowledged back from the local RecoverPoint appliance, unless synchronous remote replication is in effect. If synchronous replication is in effect, the “ack” is delayed until the write has been received at the remote site. Once the ack is issued, it is processed by the splitter either the host or fabric splitter , where it is held until the ack is received back from the production LUN. O
