Hi @RahimA ,   I don't recommend that you downgrade from the Enterprise edition to Express because the Enterprise feature within your platform will be automatically disabled and you will not be able to use Cloudera Technical Support.   My recommendation is that you expedite your procurement process for the additional Cloudera nodes.   Regards, Steve ...

Hi @ARVINDR ,   I am an expert in Isilon but I'm not sure that Data Lifecyle Manager (DLM) supports using Isilon as the storage layer.    Isilon uses the OneFS file system. OneFS supports its own utilities for backing up data and replication so it might be better to use tools that are native to Isilon in this scenario.   Regards, Steve ... View more

Hi @ARVINDR    In this case, you would use Data Lifecycle Manager to replicate data between the two clusters.   Here is a link to the documentation:   https://docs.cloudera.com/HDPDocuments/DLM1/DLM-1.5.1/administration/content/dlm_hdfs_replication_overview_new.html   The latency will be a function of your network. I can share some general networking guidelines here:   https://docs.cloudera.com/documentation/other/reference-architecture/topics/ra_bare_metal_deployment.html#concept_qlk_mpk_v2b   Regards, Steve ...

Hi @ARVINDR    I'd like to clarify your scenario.  Do you have   A) 12 nodes in region A and 12 nodes in region B i.e. 2 distinct Cloudera clusters with a total of 24 nodes and you want to replicate data between these clusters?   or   B) 12 nodes split across regions A and B i.e. a single cluster of 12 nodes?   Also what version of Cloudera are you using?   Regards, Steve ...
