Hi everyone, I'm in the process of planning a new infrastructure

chaoshead the TL/DR is this: • Mediator appliance replaces Pure1 when ActiveCluster is used in Dark Sites • Depending on how you have your stretched pod configured ◦ If the Mediator is "lost" first, the pod will perform a pre-election. This pre-election will determine which array will continue to make the pod/volumes available if the 2 arrays have an interruption in replication. ◦ If the arrays lose their replication link to each other, they will both "race to the mediator" and whoever wins will present the pod/volumes from the array that communicates with the mediator first. ◦ You can set array preference in the stretched pod which will (in both cases above) fail the pod/volumes to the preferred array. ◦ Keep in mind that you can have multiple pods with the preference set individually per pod.
