Hi,

We have a new customer. They want to use VMware continuous replication.

They have 1 vCenter with 3 clusters at the source site and 1 vCenter with 1 cluster at the destination site. Commvault document says;

https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/essential/106002_system_requirements_for_continuous_replication.html

“Two access nodes (VSA proxies): One at the source site and one at the destination site.”

https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/essential/106456_known_issues_for_continuous_replication_in_command_center.html

“Only one proxy at the source site and one proxy at the destination site can be used for replication. Multiple proxies and proxy failover are not supported.”

We think we can deploy 1 proxy for each cluster. Is it right? If so, can i use 3 source proxy with 1 destination proxy?

 

Regards,

İbrahim

Sharing the solution:

For one RP and one replication pair, you would need just one proxy.
This just needs one proxy at source site and one proxy at destination sites.

Hey @ibrahimemrekaya this is a good feature to look at and while I do not have a use case for it, I thought I would look at the docs.

It looks like only one proxy at the source and one at the destionation is the current supported config.

  • Only one proxy at the source site and one proxy at the destination site can be used for replication. Multiple proxies and proxy failover are not supported.

I would make sure to check on the low latency and bandwidth requirements as well.

Hi,

Thank you for answer but i need more clear information. I will start the setups next week.

I think I am going to start with 1 proxy at source and 1 proxy at destination.
