Co-location Initialization
In circumstances where data centers are within a small distance of each other it may be practical to
co-locate the two VLS units at the same location, directly connect the GbE links from the VLS nodes
together by plugging both source and target device external LAN ports into the same external LAN
switch. Then backup to the source VLS and replicate to the target VLS using the high speed GbE links
at the co-location. This allows high volumes of data to be initialized in a faster time. To implement
this, do not select "Initialize via Tape Transport" when creating the echo copy pools and configuring
replication.
