HP P2000 Remote Snap Software is array based software that provides remote replication on the HP
P2000 G3 MSA Array products (except SAS model). HP Remote Snap is a form of asynchronous
replication which consists of replication of block-level data from a volume on a local system to a
volume that may be on the same system or on a second independent system. This second system may
be collocated with the first system or may be located at a remote site. It requires T230Rxx controller
firmware or higher.
HP Remote Snap functionality is based on existing Snapshot technology offered by HP P2000 SAN Array
products. Snapshots are used to track the data to be replicated as well as to determine the differences
in data updated on the master volume, minimizing the amount of data to be transferred.
HP Remote Snap replication technology provides the ability to accomplish key data management and
protection capabilities. First, because Remote Snap uses snapshots as the underlying technology it
creates multiple local recovery points which can be used for such tasks as to complement daily
backups; second, replication provides the ability to access data in a remote site which could be used for
dispersed operations; and third but definitely not least important replication allows for business
continuance in the event of a failure on the primary site.
In order to perform a replication, a snapshot of the volume to be replicated is taken, creating a point-in-
time image of the data. This point-in-time image is then replicated to the destination volume by
