A company's host systems are configured with iSCSI HBAs and they want to directly attach...

Physical Connection: The RPAs should be physically connected to each other using their iSCSI ports.This is because the host systems are configured with iSCSI HBAs, which indicates that the storage network is based on iSCSI protocol1.

Configuration in RecoverPoint: In the RecoverPoint Deployment Manager, ensure that the iSCSI ports of the RPAs are correctly configured to communicate with the VNX array.

Verification: After the physical connections and configurations are made, verify that the RPAs can communicate with the VNX array and that the iSCSI connections are stable and operational.

It is important to note that while the RPAs are connected through their iSCSI ports, they should not be connected to any MirrorView ports on the VNX array.Additionally, ensure that the RPAs are connected directly to the FC ports on the Storage Processors (SPs) and not to an expansion SFP on the file side1.
