Hello,
I have a video storage project.
For that, I have been provided with the following hardware :
- Proliant DL360 Gen9 Server (Windows 2016 Server with video application)
- MSA 2050 (11 * 8TB)
- MSA 1050 (10 * 8TB)
The hardware was purchased without full validation of the requirement.
Today, I have been asked a data replication between the MSA 2050 and the MSA 1050 (if possible realtime replication (synchronous)) but I confess I don't know much about these materials.
The goal would be to have a volume attached to the windows Server and replicate this volume.
My idea would be to have a RAID5+1 volume on the MSA 2050 replicated with a RAID5 volume on the MSA 1050.
About the cabling, currently :
- Port SAS 1 - controller A - MSA 1050 connected to HPE H241 Smart HBA card
- Port SAS 1 - controller B - MSA 1050 connected to HPE H241 Smart HBA card
- Cable SAS - controller A - MSA 1050 connected to PORT IN – MSA 2050
- Cable SAS - controller B - MSA 1050 connected to PORT IN – MSA 2050
According to my research, it seems to have several methods of replication (snapshots,…) and I'm a bit lost. I confess that I don't know the hardware.
2 questions :
- What do you think would be the best replication method to implement ?
- Is the cabling I made good ?
Thank you very much for your advice !
Best regards,
