Why each option
When implementing remote synchronous replication over an FC SAN, it is crucial to consider the necessary throughput and the acceptable latency for the application to ensure data consistency and performance.
ISL aggregation, while beneficial for bandwidth and fault tolerance in an FC SAN, is a configuration detail that supports throughput but is not a primary consideration in the initial planning for synchronous replication's fundamental requirements like throughput or latency.
Synchronous replication requires that data writes are acknowledged by the remote site before the local application considers the write complete, which necessitates sufficient throughput on the FC SAN to handle the volume of data being replicated without becoming a bottleneck.
The location of the principal switch is a physical design consideration for the FC SAN itself, but not a direct requirement or primary consideration for the strategy of remote synchronous replication regarding data consistency or application performance.
The round-trip time for synchronous replication directly impacts application performance, so understanding and meeting the acceptable latency to the application is critical to avoid performance degradation.
Disk subsystem RAID level compatibility is a local storage configuration detail and does not directly impact the remote synchronous replication strategy over the FC SAN, which focuses on data transfer and latency between sites.
