Supported Hardware and Software

■One-to-many and multihop volume sets — The Sun SNDR software enables you to create one-to-many and multihop volume sets. In a one-to-many volume set, you can replicate data from one primary volume to many secondary volumes residing on one or more hosts. In a multihop set, the secondary host volume of one volume set can be the primary host volume of another volume set. See “One-to-Many and Multihop Volume Sets” on page 18.

TCP/IP Connection Hardware Components

The Sun SNDR software requires a TCP/IP connection between the primary and secondary server. Each server must have the proper ATM or Ethernet hardware installed to support the TCP/IP link.

The Sun SNDR software operates over any TCP/IP networking technology but has been qualified only on 10, 100, and 1000 Mbit Ethernet and ATM 166 and 622 technologies.

A dedicated TCP/IP link is not required.
