Replicate data of filesystems inside AIX.

Hi,

Is possible to replicate data from different filesystems in AIX? For example:

We have AIXs servers that has disks, VGs and LVs from a DS5100 (A). But we have another DS5100 (B) storage outside our building and we want to replicate theses disks, VGs and LVs between theses two DS5100 (A) and (B)

NOTE: I know both DS5100 can replicate their LUNS, but we want to replicate on the AIX OS side.

Is it possible?

Is there comercial software for this?

Thanks..

The fact is both DS5100 (A) and (B) are now connected via fiber cable and it's too expensive (remember the global crisis) for our business. Both DSs replicate multiples LUNs using this way. So, we want to disable this fiber cable, and see if there's a way to replicate theses LUNs using the 1Gethernet connection between both buildings. So, I don't know if it's possible or not, or if there's adapters from fiber-ethernet in the DSs side.

Umm, why do you say "I'm not sure if all this is a real alternative though!"?

Performance issues? Bad experiences with FCoE?
