I'm trying to set up a test lab environment for Asynchronous WAN replication as advertised in the v8 datasheet. This is for a proof of concept, as we may, pending successful trial, be using StarWind products in the future.
We have 2x SANs on-site in an Active-Active configuration working as intended (very easy to setup, this was great
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
The 3rd SAN is set up in the DR location and is accessible to the other two SANs via VPN. However, the two issues I'm running into are:
1) The DR location is on a different subnet to our onsite SANs (we use IP routing through a gateway to connect between the two)
2) When setting up the asynchronous replication from our HA device's 'Replication Manager', it asks for separate channels [ie separate networks] for heartbeat and sync. Realistically, you're never going to have this over a WAN link, so is there a way to set up the replication using only the single channel [ie the VPN connection?]
Thanks in advance.
