TC and Universal Replicator can share the same pair volumes. Using a combined TC and Universal Replicator configuration can extend disaster recovery options to a third data center.
Like TC, a Universal Replicator pair maintains a copy of the production volume in a second location. However, unlike TC, the Universal Replicator S-VOL is asynchronous, and the secondary system can be located much greater distances from the primary and secondary TC sites.
Creating both a TC and a Universal Replicator backup ensures that a copy in a third location is available in the event that the primary site or one of the systems fails.
For details about the storage systems that support 3DC multi-target and cascade configurations combining TC and Universal Replicator and the versions of storage systems that support those configurations, contact customer support.
Configurations consisting of TC and Universal Replicator pair volumes are covered in the VSP One Block Universal Replicator User Guide.
