Last week I presented this topic at the VMware TechSummit, and today I am happy to share with all of that NetApp has released version 1.4.3 of our VMware Site Recovery Manager adapter (available for download here). The new adapter is our 'Unified Adapter' replaces the SAN & NAS adapters (versions 1.4.2 & 1.0.0.4 respectively) with a single adapter.
With this adapter we support NFS, iSCSI, FC, FCoE, FAS & vSeries 2000, 3000, 3100, 6000 series, IP & FC replication, and synchronous, a-synchronous, and semi-synchronous replication.
The Unified Adapter also supports replication of FAS to FAS, FAS to vFiler, vFiler to vFiler, FAS to vSeries, and vSeries to vFiler. Remember all NetApp arrays support bi-directional replication, so there's no need to provision single purpose arrays (as in one for production and another for DR).
In addition to all of the combinations shared above, one can also run a FC storage network in one datacenter and failover to an Ethernet storage network with SRM. With all of this flexibility I like to refer to this release as 'one adapter to rule them all.'
