Hi all,
does anybody know, how fast is a R100 ?
We want to build an environment, which reduce the downtime in
case of a disaster.
Following in mind, some Netapp Filers do a SnapMirror over a
WAN-connection to a R100. Beside the R100 is a spare-system
which could replace any production-filer. In case of a disaster
we are able to copy the volumes to the spare-system and replace
it with the broken filer.
This should be much faster then a full restore from a local tape.
I am talking about 0.5TB - 1.5TB per remote filer.
We also would do only a tape-backup from the R100, no local tape
drives in the remote offices.
Questions:
- What is the real read-performance of a R100?
- What is the fastest way to duplicate the broken volumes from the
R100 to the spare-system? volcopy ? ndmpcopy ? something else ?
- How long does it take to copy a 1TB volume to another filer.
- Does anybody have something like above described ?
Thanks in advance
Phil
