introduction
in previous article SRM part I : we have got an overview of SRM as concept and it’s feature as well as benefits
also we have differentiate between [vSphere Replication ] and [ Storage Replication Adapter ]
in this article : we continue to understand network diagram of SRM components with some considerations points
SRM Logical Design
SRM network Diagram
please have a look to network diagram above
we will work to setup all SRM components above in this course step by step
