HP StorageWorks 4000/6000/8000 - Enterprise Virtual Arrays - HP Continuous Access EVA 3-Site Configuration with Four Mpx110 Gateways

Figure 96 shows connectivity for three sites using four mpx110 gateways, which implements the
minimum-level and lowest-cost connectivity for a 3-site configuration. Figure 97 shows additional
connectivity and redundancy using six mpx110 gateways. Figure 98 shows the highest level of 3-site
connectivity using eight mpx110 gateways.
The following configuration rules apply to Figure 96 through Figure 98 (fan-in/fan-out):
• For Site 1, Site 2 or Site 3 can function as the remote site.
• For Site 2 or Site 3, Site 1 can function as the remote site.
• Replication between Site 2 and Site 3 is not supported.
Figure 99 is similar to Figure 97, with additional connectivity to allow for replication between Site 2
and Site 3.
The following configuration rules apply to Figure 99 (peer-to-peer):
• For Site 1, Site 2 or Site 3 can function as the remote site.
• For Site 2, Site 1 or Site 3 can function as the remote site.
• For Site 3, Site 1 or Site 2 can function as the remote site.
Figure 96 shows long-distance link redundancy between all three sites.
