Re: [rhelv5-list] Near Real-Time RSYNC with NFS

["Musayev, Ilya" <imusayev webmd net>]

Brian,

Sounds like you never dealt with EMC support :) Though storage is handled by another team, knowing EMC it sounds very improbable that EMC can help in this case, the story is complicated; let's just say EMC won't be able help.

I was NetApp admin in past and loved their support, now we are stuck with EMC.

Thanks,

Regards
Ilya

I would say your EMC support org. needs to figure this out at the block
layer.  They could see block changes and replicate them to the remote filer.

NetApp has a great feature called SnapMirror which I've used in the past
to keep various NFS filers in sync.  It works great since it only syncs
block-level changes in WAFL.
