So you have an SPA and SPB. They are redundant to each other. We also use EMC RecoverPoint replication to replicate the critical LUNs on the CX4 to an off-site location. We have another EMC and vmware cluster at a second datacenter. We can bring up backups or boot systems that were replicated through RecoverPoint at that site.

it’s necessary or not to have SAN clustering?
my idea do same thing at two location for HA.
provide me opinion please..in case EMC CX4 broken down

I was worried initially because we were doing dedicated dual 4gb fibre uplinks to our physical servers. The C2148 are for legacy gigabit (1gig) ethernet. They are uplinked to the nexus 5010s by dual 10gbE ports (so they have 20gigabit throughput to the 5010 network). Each 2148 can have up to 4 – 10gbE uplinks to the 5010s. They are controlled / admin’ed through the 5010s.

how good performance?
i wounder a lot off switch (8) what C2148 use for?

I’m working on a full 10GbE SFP+ and 10Base-T deployment using Arista 7100T switches for storage and LAN, and Cisco 4900M 10GbE SFP+ uplinks.
