mpx110 product description The HP StorageWorks IP Distance Gateway (referred to as the mpx110) provides FC SAN extension over an IP network. Used in conjunction with the EVA and XP storage system families and the HP Continuous Access EVA or XP software, the mpx110 provides long-distance remote replication for disaster tolerance. A base FCIP configuration consists of a min ...

FCIP, two mpx110 gateways are required. Each gateway is configured for FCIP and connected to a fabric. The gateways are connected to each other through an IP network (LAN/WAN). For more information, see Figure 1. Local FC devices need no additional hardware or software to access remote FC devices using the mpx110 deployed for FCIP. Figure 1 FCI ...

In a high-availability FCIP configuration, such as between pairs of mpx110 gateways and two independent IP networks that provide full redundancy, a loss of connectivity that occurs through one of the IP networks does not result in a loss of connectivity between the fabrics. See FCIP fully redundant, high-availability configuration. Figure 2 FCIP fully redundant, high-availability configuration . IP Distance Gateway ...
