Replication between 2 x DL4300 appliances over iSCSI

Will 2 x DL4300 Rapid Recovery appliances allow replication over an iSCSI network interface rather than using the standard 1Gb Network Interface?

We currently have 2 x 10Gb iSCSI interfaces in each DL4300 being utilized for backup from our Storage but was hoping we can use the same interfaces to replicate to the second DL4300 Replication target.

I have 4 Standard NICs teamed but it only ever hits the 1Gb limit over one of these NICs.

Many thanks in advance

    Thanks for the reply Tudor,

    Here is some more info about our environment. We have 2 x DL4300 Rapid Recovery appliances (25TB each) which are connected to the same network using 2 x 10Gb Nics (iSCSI) 4 x 1Gb Nics teamed (Lan). We have a 10Gb network backbone between both appliances.

    One appliance does backup directly from our storage area and then replicates this over to the second appliance (currently using the LAN Nics). I was hoping to get the benefit of the 10GB network backbone for replication traffic, but only have the NIC's used for iSCSI connected at that speed. Hence the dual use scenario.

    Would I be better off adding another 10Gb NIC to each appliance and using that for lan traffic?

    I don't really want to be getting into setups that aren't recommended

    thanks again, Richard
