Hi,
I need to put together a DR strategy for our CIFS data. We're moving to NetApp 9.x.
I think SVM-DR is out of the question because the arrays at the primary and secondary sites will be on different subnets. If it were possible I think the other drawback is that all the configured mirrors will kick off at the same time. I'm thinking that all the concurrent mirror activity may casue an issue down the road as we scale.
I'm thinking of re-pointing DNS after a switchiver to the secondary, i.e. netapp-pri DNS record is re-configured with the IP address of netapp-sec, but I'm concenred about the DNS cache on the servers and clients not flushing in a timely manner.
What's my best option please?
Thanks
